Fitz really good in wins, really bad in losses

The old adage that quarterbacks typically get too much credit when they win and too much blame when they lose is certainly overused.

But an argument can be made that Buffalo Bills’ quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick should take a lot of the credit when the Bills win -- and a lot of the blame when they lose.


In five victories, Fitzpatrick has recorded a 104 quarterback rating with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions.

In the Bills’ four losses, however, Fitzpatrick has a quarterback rating of 65.6 with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Fitzpatrick had 14 touchdowns to seven picks through September and October but has a two-touchdown-to-five-interception ratio in two November games.

The Bills’ recently-named franchise quarterback looks to turn that around against the Miami Dolphins Sunday.
