Evans and Fitzpatrick get off to a good start

Related Topics: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buccaneer

The Buccaneers first team offense started the season off pretty well under Ryan Fitzpatrick in the teams first preseason game. Fitzpatrick, led the team on a seven-play, 61-yard drive to open the scoring in Miami. One takeaway from tonight’s game was that Fitzpatrick and Mike Evans seemed to be on the same page early on.

Evans, who is arguably the Buccaneers most consistent player, finished the first game with two receptions for 26 yards on his only two drives. Obviously, the chemistry between Evans and Fitzpatrick will be important throughout the team’s first three games in the regular season, but the fifth year receiver has a lot of confidence in Fitz.
