Tennessee Titans cornerback Logan Ryan sealed his team's AFC Wild Card Round victory over his ex-team New England Patriots with a last-second pick-six from Tom Brady, but the defensive back denied his former teammate's “revenge tour.”
Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy made headlines this past week when he dubbed his team's potential postseason run a revenge tour after failing to secure a first-round bye when New England lost in Week 17 at home to the Miami Dolphins. Instead, Ryan, who won two Super Bowls with the franchise, told the NFL Network's James Palmer to “just play ball.”
“Man, I love those guys. I love my guys here. But the type of player and teammate I am, I give it all to my teammates. And I won two championships with them. But I'm here now. I'm trying to win a championship here. And that organization has so much class. So my guy Kyle Van Noy calling it a revenge tour, just play ball, Kyle. I'm sure you're going to see this, but he went hyenas and he's on a revenge tour, and why not start with the Titans, and I understand you're going to ride the wave of the Patriots, but Tom Brady doesn't do that, Julian Edelman doesn't do that. … And Kyle Van Noy's running his mouth, giving us bulletin board material about his revenge tour. His revenge tour ended early. I'm sure I'll hear something in the group chat from my guys about it over there … but my man Van Noy's been tripping. So his revenge tour ended early. Hope he enjoys it.”
Ryan signed a three-year deal with the Titans as a free agent in the offseason prior to the 2017 NFL season. He was selected by the Patriots in the third round of the 2013 draft out of Rutgers. In 2019 with Tennessee, Ryan recorded four interceptions and forced four fumbles, also tallying 4.5 sacks and 113 combined tackles.
The Titans upset the Patriots in the Wild Card round on Saturday and will head to Baltimore to face the No. 1 seed Ravens next week.
