Rex Ryan was fond of pointing out last year that only he and his brother Rob — then defensive coordinator of the Browns — were able to beat the Patriots.

This year, they haven’t done as well with common opponents. The Patriots swept the Jets and beat Rob’s Cowboys. And the Eagles have really given the Ryans problems.

The Eagles destroyed Dallas 34-7 on Sunday Night Football earlier this season. That was perhaps Philly’s most complete effort all year, although their 45-19 win over Rex’s Jets on Sunday was close.

To recap: Eagles 76, Ryans 26.

“The [Cowboys will] definitely probably have something different this game,” Eagles center Jason Kelce told Geoff Mosher of the News Journal Tuesday. “I doubt they’re going to do the exact same things as last game; it didn’t work out very well. This is a brand-new situation.”

The Eagles have done well against 3-4 defenses in general. They are 4-3 in those games, and 2-5 in all other games.

If Philadelphia continues to be kryptonite for the Ryans, Rob can probably forget about getting head coaching interviews this offseason.
