Why Ryan Fitzpatrick has been sacked just once this season

The offensive line has done a tremendous job protecting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, though they say he deserves most of the credit.
“He has a quick release,” guard Willie Colon said. “He doesn’t hold onto the ball. He’s very direct with where he’s going with the ball. He’s considerate of it. He knows where the protection is at. He knows where the hot is coming. A lot of that credit goes to him. He knows where the pressure is coming, he sees it and he gets rid of the ball.”
He was not sacked at all in the first game and just once last week by the Colts.
