The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach, Rex Ryan and defensive coordinator, Rob Ryan. It was announced on Tuesday.
The Bills have dropped six of their last nine games and have been eliminated from playoff contention for the 17th successive season.
Offensive coordinator, Anthony Lynn, who replaced Greg Roman in Week 3, will take over as the interim coach of the Bills (7-8).
Buffalo wraps up this campaign with a road game against Rex Ryan's former club, the New York Jets (4-11), on Sunday.
A 34-31 overtime defeat to the Miami Dolphins on Saturday officially extended the longest active postseason drought in North American sports.
Rex Ryan posted a 15-16 mark in his two seasons as Buffalo's coach.
