Ryan Fitzpatrick OUT FOR GAME After Hip Injury

Coordinator, that'll be a big story for this team all season long. Fitzpatrick and company begin from just outside their own 30. Fitzpatrick getting banged around, we'll see if that was ruled a fumble and where they will mark the football. Ochena Nwosu making first contact, and Fitzpatrick a little bit late to get to his feet. He was crunched, and there's two attributes to that: number one, was it a fumble when he got hit; number two, did it go backwards on the pass, which would be a fumble regardless. Either way, now the concern is on Ryan Fitzpatrick as he is back down on the turf. Oh boy. Ochena Nwosu with Fitzpatrick sacked for a loss of nine yards at the Washington 23-yard line by number 40.

Good luck. I got this. So, in two years' time with Tua, I went from being the mentor to the groupie begging for access. Now he was kind enough to allow me to be in his presence when I caught up with him yesterday.
