EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Fitz Magic returned after Geno Smith’s sequel ended early, and the New York Jets got their first victory in over a month.
Fitzpatrick replaced an injured Smith and led the Jets on three scoring drives, and a rejuvenated defense came up with two rare interceptions in a 24-16 comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday that snapped a four-game skid.
“It’s a pretty ironic situation,” Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick came in for Smith, starting for the first time since 2014, in the second quarter and led the Jets on a go-ahead drive capped by a 13-yard touchdown catch by Matt Forte.
