Ryan Fitzpatrick of the Buccaneers: Rallies in loss of effort

Fitzpatrick completed 30 of 50 passes for 411 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Steelers. He also rushed five times for 27 yards.

Fitzpatrick continued to entertain in the third week, although his performance was rather turbulent. After finding Cameron for a touchdown in the first quarter, Fitzpatrick then launched an interception on three consecutive possessions, including one in the red zone and another 10 yards for a Steelers touchdown. This final choice dropped the Buccaneers by 20 points at half-time, forcing Fitzpatrick to post it in search of a second-half comeback. It turned out that he still had some magic left, as he found Chris Godwin and Mike Evans for scores while going over the 400 passing yards. In total, Tampa Bay and him arrived just before a third win, but there is no doubt that the Fitzpatrick game has created an interesting situation for the coaches of the team, who will have to decide if Jameis Winston Bears, when Winston will be eligible to play after serving their three-game suspension to start this season.
