The Green Bay Packers this week will face the Denver Broncos this week, but Denver could be soon making a chance at defensive coordinator and bringing in Rex Ryan. At the current moment, Vance Joseph is the current defensive coordinator for the Broncos.
According to the Pat McAfee show, he says these are “rumors” that Rex will soon take over as Defensive Coordinator for the Broncos. McAfee works with Rex Ryan on ESPN, and he is hearing this stuff from around the league and not ESPN. Here is the video of Pat McAfee talking about the possibility of it happening:

Rex Ryan was last in the NFL in 2016 as the head coach of the Buffalo Bills. He was coaching them for two seasons. Ryan was also head coach of the New York Jets from 2009-2014 and was in the AFC Championship Game two years in a row.
Ryan was also the defensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens from 2005-2008 and built one of the best defenses in the NFL. He coached players like Ed Reed and Ray Lewis.
The Denver Broncos Having Rex Ryan as Defensive Coordinator Would be Hilarious, and to bad the Green Bay Packers Can’t See It This Week
It would be so funny if the Packers did face a Rex Ryan-faced defense this weekend, but they will be facing a Vance Joseph defense instead which is not very good. Denver’s defense held the Kansas City Chiefs offense to 19 points last week, but the offense only scored eight total points in that football game as well.
The Broncos’ defense so far this season is ranked last in the NFL this season at giving up 440.3 yards per game. This is one of the reasons why head coach Sean Payton wants to make a change at defensive coordinator in the immediate future. Just changing coordinators from Joseph to Ryan would be hilarious, only because he hasn’t coached in the NFL for several years and is 60 years old.
Rex Ryan would be an immediate upgrade for the Denver Broncos if he coached against the Green Bay Packers and the Jordan Love offense this week, but too bad. It would be something to watch, and this could be a rumor worth monitoring as we progress throughout the rest of the regular season, as well as with the Rex Ryan rumors.
