Reports have indicated that the Buffalo Bills plan to fire Rex Ryan, but that hasn't stopped some of his players from coming to his defense.

The Bills beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday to remain mathematically alive in the playoff race with two games remaining.

Eric Wood, who is out with a broken leg, said he would tell Buffalo ownership that Ryan should remain on the job.

"I'm a Rex guy. I like Rex a lot. I like him as a coach. I think he's a great leader," Wood said. "I know it doesn’t feel like it all the time, but we're so freaking close."
