Bucs Ground Jets to End Skid

Prior to Sunday's game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets, it was a dual quarterback reunion that took center stage. Once the ball was snapped, however, it was the Buccaneers' defense that stole the spotlight.

Led by an extremely active trio of linebackers, the Buccaneers snapped a five-game losing streak by defeating the Jets, 15-10. Neither team recorded a touchdown until there were six minutes left in the game but Ryan Fitzpatrick's six-yard scoring pass to Charles Sims late in the fourth quarter gave the Bucs the first two-score lead of the day, and that proved to be enough.
