Last Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers scored 15 points to the New York Jets' 10, thus getting the win in their first game with Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starting quarterback. As a result, Fitzpatrick's own numbers in the game's stat sheet weren't of much concern. For the record, though, he completed 17 of 34 passes for 187 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Fitzpatrick certainly did enough for his team to win while filling in for the injured Jameis Winston He played complementary football with the Bucs' defense and special teams, which won the field-position battle, produced a positive turnover ratio and capitalized on all three field goal opportunities.
