GLENDALE, Ariz. --What now, coach?
When a team falls into a losing spell, avoiding the end zone as if it's a radioactive dump site, the beleaguered coach usually makes the handbook move: Bench the quarterback and tell everyone the decision was done to create a spark.
New York Jets coach Todd Bowles took that option off the table after Monday night's 28-3 loss to Arizona, declaring that Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the starter even though he pulled him for the final eight minutes of garbage time.
Another popular scapegoat is a coordinator.
