New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has admitted that he has called his brother Rob Ryan about facing the Atlanta Falcons.

Ryan is defensive coordinator with the Falcons' NFC South rivals the New Orleans Saints, who have already defeated Mike Smith's side this season.

"Of course, you talk to him," Ryan told reporters. "There's no doubt about that. I don't want to get in trouble for insider trading, but absolutely you'll talk to him."

The Jets are 2-2 going into their week five clash with the Falcons on Monday.
