Rex Ryan may have lost to the Bears on Monday night, but another Rex couldn’t be happier with the result.

The Bears beat the Jets 27-19 on Monday night, moving them into a tie for first place in the NFC North. But according to a report, a sports bettor from Kingsman, Arizona, who wanted to be identified as Rex, was the biggest winner.

Rex from Arizona won $57,935 off a $5 bet, according to ESPN:

The Rex from Arizona collected his cash prize Tuesday afternoon at the William Hill sports book at the Edgewater Hotel & Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. A regular player at the book, Rex correctly picked the straight-up winner of all 15 Sunday and Monday NFL games on one of his 16 contest entries.

Rex was one of two bettors out of 3,986 entries this week in the William Hill Pro Progressive Football Parlay Card to correctly pick the straight-up winner (no point spreads) of all 14 Sunday games. The other card was entered at the Silverado Casino in Fernley, Nevada, and was relying on the Jets.

The other bettor, unfortunately, needed the Jets to win in order to strike it big. The Jets never led in the game, and had a chance to tie before their final drive stalled.
