How Jets coach Todd Bowles can have his QB cake and eat it, too

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. QB quandary: Much to the chagrin of the fan base, coach Todd Bowles has stood by Ryan Fitzpatrick, but the coach is in a unique situation Sunday. He can honor that commitment while introducing the world to Bryce Petty, the people's choice.

If Bowles decides a healthy, but unproven Petty gives him a better chance to beat the Los Angeles Rams than a sore-kneed Fitzpatrick, he can spin it as a "coach's decision" based on injury.
