On Thursday, nearly two weeks after suddenly being tapped by coach Rex Ryan to run the Buffalo Bills' offense, coordinator Anthony Lynn was asked if he had an opportunity to take a deep breath after being given his new job.
"My answer will be short," he said with a smile. "No."
A little over 24 hours later, Lynn's life didn't become any easier when the Bills decided to place arguably their best offensive player, wide receiver Sammy Watkins, on injured reserve.
The decision isn't surprising given the ominous tone Ryan struck Friday when speaking about Watkins, and it seems to be the right call given how Watkins' foot injury hasn't allowed him to practice in over two weeks.
