Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins' nagging foot problems landed him on injured reserve Friday, delivering yet another blow to the job security of the Bills' coach, ex-Jets big whistle Rex Ryan.
The Bills are 1-2, just like the Jets, who beat Buffalo in Week 2. The teams meet again on Jan. 1 at MetLife Stadium — the regular season finale.
Ryan now faces an uphill climb to end the Bills' playoff drought. They last reached the postseason in 1999 — the NFL's longest current drought. Oh, and the Bills visit the Patriots this week.
Ryan went 8-8 in his Bills debut season last year, after the Jets fired him.
