Ryan Fitzpatrick quietly made his 100th career start Sunday. Before Fitzpatrick threw a season-high 4 TD passes in the Jets’ 38-20 dismantling of the Dolphins, the 11-year veteran signal caller received a text from his father.
“I knew it was going to happen at some point this year – I kind of had forgotten which game it was going to be,” he said of hitting the century mark. “But my dad texted me earlier in the day, so then I was kind of made aware of it. So that was cool for me.”
Fitzpatrick, acquired from the Houston Texans last March, has made 11 starts with his sixth NFL team.
