Fitzpatrick said, "They were happy to see dad number one.  It's amazing now the conversation with my older boys is mainly about fantasy, which drives me insane."

As for his younger children, Fitzpatrick said, "They don't know what the score is, they just know that they think they saw dad out there."

Fitzpatrick said his family helps keep the game in perspective.

Miami hosts the Patriots on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.

Head coach Brian Flores has made it clear that Fitzpatrick remains the Dolphins starting quarterback, ahead of Josh Rosen.
