Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan isn’t sure which quarterback he’ll be facing against the New England Patriots, so he decided to go straight to the source.
Posing as Walt Patulski from the Buffalo News, Ryan hopped into Julian Edelman’s media conference call and asked him if he was playing quarterback.

To his credit, Edelman gave the very diplomatic do whatever the team asks me to do answer to the question. It’s not entirely clear whether he knew he was talking to Rex Ryan or, well, Walt Patulski.
The Buffalo News was happy to issue a quick clarification via Twitter.
CLARIFICATION: Rex Ryan is NOT on our staff (neither is Walt Patulski). Live updates from our actual reporters: https://t.co/x5OJ27h98n https://t.co/89PzJL1u6y

Of course, Rex says he doesn’t even care who plays the position for New England. Doesn’t mean he can’t be curious, though.
