"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson says new coach Rex Ryan will have to beat the New England Patriots to be considered successful in Buffalo, according to ESPN's Michele Steele.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ryan was formally introduced as the Bills' new head coach on Wednesday. Ryan, who was fired by the Jets following New York's 4-12 season, signed a five-year deal with Buffalo after former Bills coach Doug Marrone vacated his position. &amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After six years with the Jets, Ryan is familiar with the Patriots, who have largely dominated AFC East rivals New York and Buffalo for more than a decade. In 2014, the Patriots were 3-1 against the Bills and Jets, though their single defeat came to Buffalo in Week 17, when New England was resting its starters for the postseason.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the Jets' struggles this past season, New York gave New England two tough games. The Patriots beat the Jets 27-25 at home early in the season and squeaked out a 17-16 victory in New Jersey later in the year.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Report: Jack Del Rio likely to be Raiders' coach&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bills finished the season 9-7 but failed to make the playoffs. Buffalo has not been to the postseason since 1999.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jackson, 33, finished 2014 with 525 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em &gt;- Josh Sanchez&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
