With Jameis Winston out, the grizzled veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick stepped in and nearly led the Buccaneers to an improbable comeback victory.
Fitzpatrick put up very nice numbers going 22/33 with 290-yards and three touchdowns. The significant number to take away from this though, is Fitzpatrick was only sacked a single time, and even with two interceptions had a quarterback rating (QBR) of 53.4 per ESPN.
Winston, in his first four starts this season had a higher rating in only two of those games. Also going back to last season, he only had a higher QBR in 7/16 games.
