Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick regained his starting job following last week's benching.
Fitzpatrick was not pleased, to say the least, with his placement on the bench.
"The biggest thing in this game in order to last is to have belief in yourself. Because when the owner stops believing in you, and the GM stops believing in you, and the coaches stop believing in you, sometimes all you have is yourself," Fitzpatrick said last week.
Quarterback Geno Smith tore his ACL this past Sunday in the Jets win over the Baltimore Ravens. Fitzpatrick led three scoring drives that ultimately gave them a 24-16 win. He still owns a league-leading 11 interceptions.
The Jets (2-5) will face the winless Cleveland Browns this Sunday.
