Buccaneers replace Ryan Fitzpatrick with Jameis Winston

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Adding another bizarre twist to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' quarterback situation, Ryan Fitzpatrick has been replaced by Jameis Winston in the third quarter against the New York Giants.

Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions on three-straight possessions, including a pick-six by Alex Ogletree off a deflected pass by cornerback Janoris Jenkins.

After the Bucs' 16-3 loss to the Washington Redskins last week, coach Dirk Koetter said he would consider a quarterback change but opted to stay with Fitzpatrick despite his recent rash of turnovers because he felt Fitzpatrick gave them the best chance to win.
