FLORHAM PARK -- A day after throwing six interceptions in a 24-3 loss at the Chiefs, Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick on Monday said he has moved on.

"It's flushed," he said. "It was pretty easy to try to forget about that one. It was so bad, and there were so many poor things on my part that happened in that game, that you want to put it behind you as fast as you can."

Fitzpatrick finished the game with an 18.2 passer rating -- the worst of his 12-year career in a game he started. Of his career-high six picks, three came in the red zone. All three were in the second half. All three were thrown into the end zone.

"It's a hard day for me to come in [Monday], after we lost that game because of my performance," Fitzpatrick said. "We don't really need to try to put it on anything else. I think that was pretty evident. To walk in [Monday] and have to face the guys, it's not an easy thing to do."

But he emphasized that the Jets (1-2) are still just three weeks into the season, as a home game against Seattle looms Sunday.

"This isn't all doom and gloom," Fitzpatrick said. "Last week, everybody was talking about how we're the greatest show on turf basically after one game. We're only as good as our next game."

Fitzpatrick said he didn't address the entire team Monday, but did speak to individual players.

"We had plenty of side discussions," he said. "After a loss like that, there's just stuff that needs to be put out there. There was plenty of stuff that was talked about."

A big topic of conversation Monday -- at least between Fitzpatrick and reporters -- was the Jets' horrible red zone performance in Kansas City. They went 0 of 4 in the red zone and are now 6 of 16 this season.

"The forced balls in the red area are just things that can't happen," Fitzpatrick said. "Part of that is we've been down there a lot this year and maybe haven't been as productive as we were last year.

"It's still a matter of taking what the defense gives you, and if it's not there, throw it away. You can't take points off the board. Those were a couple things that'll kill you, and I can't do that going forward."

Fitzpatrick admitted he was foolishly trying "to force the issue to score touchdowns," with some of his problematic red zone passes.

The Jets' red zone percentage this season is 37.5, compared to 66 last year.

After Sunday's game, wide receiver Brandon Marshall seemed to question the Jets' red zone play calling, when he said they might be getting "too cute" in that area of the field. He declined to elaborate on what he meant. Fitzpatrick on Monday dismissed the notion that play calling is the problem.

"I think it's more about execution down there than anything," he said. "A lot of that falls on me."

Fitzpatrick refused to question the Jets' pass-happy red zone approach that failed in Kansas City, after a run-heavy approach worked so well in Buffalo.

"Each week, it's going to change, depending on what we're expecting and what the defense is giving us," he said. "We've done a decent job of getting down into the red area. We just haven't been able to put together the points."
