Jets vs. Bucs: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh McCown face their former teams

Today’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets is a weird one. Much has been said about Ryan Fitzpatrick facing off against the team that unceremoniously (after a long period of uncertainty) dumped him this offseason, but we haven’t seen much on Josh McCown returning to face his old team.

Back in 2014, McCown was the starting quarterback for the Bucs. It was a disaster: he played 11 games and won just one of them. Mike Glennon only came off the bench when McCown was injured, and the Bucs won just two games all season in Lovie Smith’s first season.
