Not sure this is worth caring about. It's not like he was the referee for the game, he's a talking puppet on the pregame show. It wouldn't bother me if Rodney Harrison talked to the Bills before they played the Jets or Colts either.“@ZoandBertrand: . @scottzolak was told that Ray Lewis gave a speech to the Bills Sunday Night prior to the Pats game”
Also, it's pretty common for broadcasters to do pep talks for teams as a favor to the coaching staff, especially in college sports, so this isn't some unprecedented breach of protocol, imho.
