Dolphins' Brian Flores is sticking with Ryan Fitzpatrick: He's 'still the starter' image

Brian Flores is sticking with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Dolphins suffered their second blowout loss of the season in a 43-0 drubbing at the hands the Patriots on Sunday, where Fitzpatrick finished 11-of-21 passing for 89 yards and three interceptions.

He was also sacked four times.

After the game, Flores addressed questions about the journeyman.

"Ryan's still a starter," Flores said. "We'll evaluate things over the course of the week but as of right now, Ryan's still the starter."

Fitzpatrick won the starting spot in Miami over second-year quarterback Josh Rosen.

Rosen did see garbage time at Hard Rock Stadium for the second consecutive week.

He finished 7-of-18 for 97 yards and one interception.

"There wasn't a whole lot that was going right on offense today," Fitzpatrick said after the game. "There's a lot of different things that go on. You hate to pass blame around. As a quarterback, you try to get the ball out, you try to get yourself in the best position. So, there's a lot of things I think I can do better in that regard."

The Dolphins will play their first road game next week versus the Cowboys.
