DeSean Jackson Wants Bucs to Ride 'On Fire' QB Fitzpatrick, 'It's Like NBA Jam'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson believes the Bucs should stick with Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starting quarterback despite Jameis Winston's eligibility to return from suspension after Week 3.

When asked about the quarterback situation Monday on NFL Network (h/t ESPN's Jenna Laine), Jackson gave Fitzpatrick a glowing endorsement:

"He's been playing on fire right now. With the way the team is rallying behind him and just playing lights-out football, you have to kind of honor it. You know what I'm saying? You can't take the hot man out.
