Fitzpatrick: Jets' brass stopped believing in me
- 8 years ago
Ryan Fitzpatrick still believes in himself, even if the New York Jets' decision makers don't.
Just five days after being benched, the veteran quarterback came on in relief of an injured Geno Smith and helped lead the Jets on three scoring drives in a 24-16 comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
"The biggest thing to have in this game in order to last is to have belief in yourself," Fitzpatrick said in a postgame news conference.
"Because when the owner stops believing in you and the GM stops believing in you and the coaches stop believing in you, sometimes all you have is yourself.
That's something I've had to deal with before, something I'm dealing with now.
