Ryan Fitzpatrick’s interception with three minutes remaining and the Bills up six was a mistake that the Buffalo quarterback put on himself. Head coach Chan Gailey in his weekly appearance on WGR Sportsradio 550 explained what happened on the play.
“Fitz thought that the corner was going to squat and take Stevie (underneath),” said Gailey. ”We had Stevie breaking out. We had thrown the same pass earlier in the game and Fitz thought that the corner was coming off of Donald (on the sideline) and was going to play Stevie and (Fitz) didn’t see him drop underneath Donald. He threw it out to Donald in the hole between the safety and the corner and the corner had dropped, he didn’t squat.”
“I just got greedy in a situation that I did not have any business being greedy in,” said Fitzpatrick. ”It was a dumb throw, dumb decision by me. Third down at the end of the game, game on the line, Chan (Gailey) put the ball in my hands essentially and I threw an interception.”
