Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jets hit rock bottom

Neil Best first worked at Newsday in 1982, then returned in 1985. His SportsWatch column debuted in 2005.

Ryan Fitzpatrick threw six interceptions in a 24-3 loss to the Chiefs, a large number in itself. But he threw five on the final five Jets possessions.

Five. In a row. Oh, and three came in the end zone.
