Bills Edge Colts in Saturday Preseason Game

BY ESPN

Rex Ryan took exception with Colts owner Jim Irsay's suggestion that the reason Indianapolis sat out Andrew Luck was because the Buffalo Bills coach doesn't let up in the preseason.

"Take a look at the tapes and see how many times we blitzed, so," Ryan said, before pausing to collect his thoughts.

"I can tell you one thing, (Colts coach) Chuck Pagano's a good friend of mine, a legitimate good friend of mine. I have way more respect for him than I do others."

Ryan's comment was clearly directed at Irsay following Buffalo's preseason-opening 19-18 loss to the Colts on Saturday night.

Two hours before the game, Irsay announced on his Twitter account that the Colts would wait until next week for Luck to make his first preseason start.

Irsay followed with a second tweet, by writing: "Yes, there is some truth on this dark, rainy night; that my good friend Rex...has never heard of the word....PRESEASON." He closed the comment with a laughing face emoji and three exclamation points.

Pagano said it was his decision to sit Luck against Buffalo. And Pagano didn't waver when reminded he was prepared to have Luck play a week earlier against Green Bay in the Hall of Fame game before it was canceled because of an unplayable field.
