Explaining Ryan Fitzpatrick's hot streak: Shave and a haircut (two wins!)

CHATHAM, N.J. -- Two weeks ago, the New York Jets' mane man -- Ryan Fitzpatrick -- decided it was time for a new look. He went to his local barber shop and, after phoning a couple of famous friends for last-minute advice, he instructed hair stylist Curtis Kyzima to trim his prodigious beard.

Since then, Fitzpatrick has been one of the hottest quarterbacks in the NFL -- six touchdown passes, no interceptions, 667 yards and two big wins, including a hair-raising finish against the New York Giants.
