Give Rex Ryan credit. Even with a 1-6 record, the Jets' head coach is still finding a way to have fun.

On Wednesday, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins was doing a conference call with Jets reporters in advance of the Week 8 matchup between the two teams when, according to NJ.com, Ryan decided to jump on the call and pretend to be a reporter. Ryan asked Watkins how he helped his son, Seth Ryan, while the two were at Clemson last year.

"Sammy, I got a question," Ryan said. "How did you help Seth Ryan out? How'd he do out there? And if you could really help him, you wouldn't play this game. This sounds like Rex Ryan — I know it does — but this is a reporter."

As expected, there was an awkward pause as Watkins tried to figure out what was going on. Ryan broke the silence.

"How you doing, Sammy? You all right?" Ryan asked.

Reports laughed, but Watkins didn't seem to get the joke.

"Hey, how you doing?" he responded.

And that's the story of how Rex Ryan made Sammy Watkins' Wednesday a little more awkward than usual. Listen to the entire conference call at NJ.com.
