2009: this time the scene was Buffalo. Starting quarterback Trent Edwards got a bump on the head.

There was Tennessee in 2013. Two men came out of nowhere to nearly break the leg of Jake Locker. A few weeks later, Locker's luck got worse when he was the victim of a foot injury.

Next: 2014 in Houston. Quarterback Ryan Mallett tore his shoulder.

New York City, 2015. Jets quarterback Geno Smith was punched in the face, suffering a broken jaw.

2017, Jamais Winston injures his Shoulder, misses 4 Games

In each of those instances when a quarterback was injured, what was the common theme? Fitzpatrick was the backup quarterback.

wow, they are so lucky Fitzpatrick was available at those times.
