Tom Brady has some fun, uses ‘Rex Ryan!’ as a pre-snap call

It wasn’t quite Aaron Rodgers using “New York Bozo” as a pre-snap check when he knew Chris Christie would be at Lambeau Field, but Tom Brady had his own fun on Monday night.

Playing against the Buffalo Bills and their outspoken coach Rex Ryan, a division rival of the Patriots for many years, Brady had a special signal before a play on New England’s first drive. He called out, very clearly so all the sideline microphones could pick it up, “Rex Ryan!”

The Patriots ran to the right the first time Brady made the “Rex Ryan” call, for what it’s worth. Jon Gruden on the ESPN broadcast wondered if “Rex Ryan” meant in the audible that something would be going to the right. It could have just been a dummy call too, Brady’s idea of a little troll towards the Bills coach.

This probably won’t catch on like Peyton Manning’s “Omaha!” but it was good for a chuckle.
