Introducing himself as “Walt Patulski from The Buffalo News,” the Bills coach popped in during a conference call New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was holding with reporters in the team’s media room.

Ryan asked Edelman directly if he was playing quarterback against the Bills on Sunday, given the Patriots’ uncertainty at the position with Tom Brady suspended and his two backups managing injuries.

Edelman responded by saying he’ll do whatever coach Bill Belichick asks of him, even if it means passing out glasses of water on the sideline. Edelman closed by saying, “You should ask coach that one.”

Ryan responded by saying, “All right, Julian, I will, buddy,” as the room broke out in laughter.

It’s unclear whether Edelman was aware it was Ryan.

Who starts for New England is in question.
