Hall of fame
The Pro Football Hall of Fame recently received the Miami Dolphins’ sports-used jersey worn by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick during the Dolphins Week 3 home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 24, 2020.
Fitzpatrick achieved several milestones during the game, including:
Breaking the Miami Dolphins’ franchise record for highest completion percentage (90%) in a game
Hall of Famer joins Walter Payton as the only player since 1948 to have two or more passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, 25 rushing yards, and one reception in a game.
Became the first player to register wins for six different franchises against an opponent
Bills game
The former Bills quarterback was photographed shirtless by many fans as he was observing Buffalo’s 47-17 win over the New England Patriots in an AFC wild-card game from the stands. The temperature at the time of the game was 7 degrees. However, it doesn’t look like he spent the entire game without his shirt as there are also photos online of the quarterback that have been bundled for the elements.
Fitzpatrick played for the Bills from 2009 to 2012, starting 53 games during that stretch and throwing 80 touchdowns to 64 interceptions. He has played for nine different teams, but spent the most time with the Bills and is well known at Buffalo. On the Adam Schefter podcast in 2020, Fitzpatrick said that Buffalo is special to him.
Retirement
Fitzpatrick’s refusal to take the safer option left fans alike happy and disappointed. He was great when he was good – along with Peyton Manning and Dan Marino, he holds the NFL record for most games with at least 400 passing yards in a single season (four) – but he also made a lot of expensive interceptions.
