Jets back Fitzpatrick after 9 INTs past 2 games

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is piling up interceptions at an alarming rate -- nine in the last two games -- but he apparently doesn't have to worry about losing his job just yet.

Coach Todd Bowles said his confidence level in Fitzpatrick is "no different than when the season started."

Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions Sunday in a 27-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, bringing his season total to 10. His fourth-quarter total is eight, including three on Sunday.

The last Jets' quarterback to throw nine interceptions in a two-game span was Joe Namath in 1970, according to Elias.
