Double trouble? Next season will judge Rex's and Rob Ryan's defense

Will two Ryans prove better than one? We're about to find out.

Next season was already shaping up to be a referendum on whether Rex Ryan's defense will work in Buffalo. His decision this week to add Rob Ryan to the Bills' coaching staff means that 2016 will also be a test of whether Rob can shake off a decade of defensive woes to help his twin brother turn around a sliding Bills defense.

Both brothers' most recent results leave much to be desired. Rex Ryan didn't come close to fulfilling his vow for a top-ranked Bills defense this season; Buffalo finished 19th.
