Rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was unable to play on Sunday vs the Nee York Jets. Which meant it was up to the 38-year-old Ryan Fitzpatrick to step up and lead the team in his absence. And although Chan Gailey’s offense continued down it’s pedestrian path, they did enough to compliment the defense and beat out the winless Jets 20-3 at MetLife.
It was a must needed win for a team with playoff aspirations, hoping to get back on track after a disappointing loss a week prior.
But while fans were concerned about a potential quarterback controversy, Fitzpatrick really didn’t play well enough to warrant this type of talk.
