Fitzpatrick, Jets Offense Shake Off Rust Against Jaguars

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — It took two series for Ryan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets offense to shake off the rust from a long offseason.

Once the veteran quarterback got into a rhythm in a 17-13 preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night, he wanted to keep going.

“I thought we did OK,” said Fitzpatrick, who finished 3 of 4 for 72 yards. “We didn’t have a ton of plays, so I wish we would’ve got something more.”

Fitzpatrick and the starters were on the field for just two possessions, as expected, before Geno Smith and the backups took over.
