Ryan Fitzpatrick didn’t mince words when discussing the Jets’ quarterback battle on Sunday. 

Fitzpatrick was benched in favor of Geno Smith but Smith was injured in the first half and Fitzpatrick was at the helm for a comeback victory. 

After the game, Fitzpatrick said more than once that he feels the team brass doesn’t believe in him.
