Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzgerald might be 37 years old, but you wouldn’t know it watching him dissect the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.
The veteran quarterback led the team with three touchdowns, throwing for two and running one in himself, to defeat the Jaguars 31-13.
Fitzpatrick also made history, becoming the first player since at least 1950 to beat one opponent with six different teams.
“Fitz-Magic” has now beaten the Jacksonville Jaguars as the quarterback of the Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, Cincinnati Bengals, and New York Jets. To say that Fitzpatrick has the Jags number would be an understatement.
The journeyman quarterback joined the NFL in 2005 as a backup QB for the then St. Louis Rams and has since played on seven other teams. Fitzpatrick has beaten the Jaguars in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and now 2020.
He played lights out last night, completing his first 12 passes of the game. Going back to Miami’s game against the Bills last week, in which he completed his last nine passes, that’s a total of 21 straight completions over two games.
Fitzpatrick ended his impressive night going 18-20 with 160 yards and two touchdowns tosses, adding another on the ground.
