Eagles Schedule Preview 2018: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bleeding Green Nation’s game-by-game preview of the Eagles’ 2018 schedule continues today with Philadelphia’s Week 2 opponent: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (Week 1 preview is here.)
The last time the Eagles played the Bucs was back in 2015 when a rookie Jameis Winston completed 65.5% of his attempts for 246 yards, five touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 131.6 passer rating. What a miserable day for the Birds.
Winston won’t be available this time around due to a three-game suspension to start the season. Instead, the Eagles will face off against Ryan Fitzpatrick. The 35-year-old journeyman quarterback is 48-70-1 in 119 career starts. He’s 1-3-1 against the Eagles.
