TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said Sunday that against the Washington Redskins, he was the one calling the plays and not offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
From training camp through this point in the season, Monken had called plays from upstairs in the coach's booth.
"I called the plays today. The whole day," said Koetter who, when asked why, responded, "It was just my own reasons."
Monken was still in the coach's booth, but Koetter was the one in quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's ear.
Against the Redskins, the Buccaneers produced 501 yards but scored just three points.
