FitzMagic runs out, but QB still throws for 411
TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick -- whose "FitzMagic" was the talk of the NFL through Weeks 1 and 2 -- recovered from three first-half interceptions to mount a comeback that came up just short and saw him finish with 411 passing yards in Monday night's 30-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Heading into the game, Fitzpatrick had been picked off just once this season, but also faced little pressure. It was the first time in his career that he'd thrown three interceptions in the first half of a game. It was also the first time he'd been picked-sixed since Week 3 of 2016.
