EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is piling up interceptions at an alarming rate -- nine in the last two games -- but he apparently doesnt have to worry about losing his job just yet.Coach Todd Bowles said his confidence level in Fitzpatrick is no different than when the season started.Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions Sunday in a 27-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, bringing his season total to 10. His fourth-quarter total is eight, including three Sunday.The last Jets quarterback to throw nine interceptions in a two-game span was Joe Namath in 1970, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Prior to that, it was done by Dick Wood in 1964.The Jets alternative is former starter Geno Smith, but they signed Fitzpatrick to a one-year, $12 million contract and still believe hes their best option.The embattled quarterback still has the support of the locker room, especially receiver?Brandon Marshall, who bristled when asked if the team needs to evaluate the quarterback position.I am -- going down -- in the boat -- with Ryan Fitzpatrick, said the veteran wide receiver, pausing every couple of words for emphasis. OK? You got that? So can you not ask me anymore questions about that? I am going down in the boat with No. 14.Fitzpatrick played well for three quarters, but the game turned when a back-shoulder pass for Marshall was picked off by cornerback Richard Sherman early in the fourth quarter. The Jets trailed 17-10 at the time.Fitzpatricks second interception went off rookie receiver?Robby Andersons hands, and the third came in the final minute, a desperation throw. Fitzpatricks job security will be a hot issue, but Bowles insisted hes not worried about that.I dont worry about questions about his play, I just worry about turnovers, he said. He knows he cant have turnovers. Some of them are unfortunate and not the quarterbacks fault, but nevertheless the quarterback runs the offense, so he cant turn the ball over. We have to get better there.Fitzpatrick endured a rough patch last season but ended up having a career year?and rallied the team to a 10-6 record. Once again, he has doubters.For me, thats been my whole career, he said. Its not anything new for me. I just have to continue to prepare and try to be the best guy I can be every Sunday, whether thats coming off a good game or a bad game.Custom Carlton Fisk Jersey .

Its an incredible comeback. Hes worked so hard to get this done and Im just so happy for him.Ryan Robinson returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown and Troymaine Pope and Alex Collins ran for scores in the fourth quarter to lead the Seahawks to the win.But Rawls performance was the most noteworthy as he proved he is ready to play in the season opener on Sept. 11 and seize the starting job vacated when Marshawn Lynch retired.I think it was important a little bit. Maybe a confidence boost, Rawls said. Even if I didnt play I think I still would have been fine but Im glad I got a chance to get out here with my teammates and contribute.With most of Seattles starters only playing one series and the bulk of Oaklands first-stringers sitting out the entire game, there was little star power on the field.The first touchdown came early in the fourth quarter on the third turnover in a five-play span. After George Atkinson III and Trevone Boykin traded fumbles, Oakland rookie quarterback Connor Cook was pressured on a rollout. Robinson stepped in front of the pass and returned it for the score that made it 9-8.Thats completely on me, Cook said. I have to see that and ditch it. It has to be thrown at his feet or thrown out of bounds, dont try and be a hero.Oakland defensive lineman Denico Autry had a sack, five tackles for loss and a pass defensed. Autry also teamed with James Cowser to get pressure on Boykin in the end zone leading to an intentional grounding penalty that resulted in a safety and the only points in the first half.ANTHHEM PROTESTSeahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane joined Colin Kaepernicks national anthem protest.dddddddddddd Lane sat on the Seattle bench while the rest of his teammates stood during the anthem before the game. Lane said he did not tell any of his teammates of his plans before the game and that he will continue to do it until he feels justice has been served.I dont mean no disrespect toward anybody, but Im just standing behind what I believe, Lane said.ROOKIE WATCHSeahawks: Boykin was 7 for 15 for 72 yards passing as he showed a good ability to escape pressure and extend plays. He also ran for 24 yards on four carries.Raiders: Cook got his most extensive time of the preseason, coming in at the start of the second quarter in place of Matt McGloin. Cook went 15 for 30 for 145 yards and one interception.INJURY UPDATESeahawks: Rookie CB DeAndre Elliott was taken to the locker room on a cart in the second half with an undisclosed injury.Raiders: OL Austin Howard limped off the field in the second quarter after rolling his ankle and didnt return.
