Buccaneers' Ryan Fitzpatrick sets NFL record with 3rd straight 400-yard game
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 30-of-50 passes for 411 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions, and added 5 carries for 27 yards, in a 30-27, Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.
What It Means:
Fitzpatrick became the first quarterback in league history to throw for 400 yards in three consecutive games. The interceptions were the result of ugly reads that led to a 30-10 halftime deficit, but the bearded one rebounded after the break, leading a furious 17-point second-half rally that left the Buccaneers just short of improving to 3-0. Jameis Winston is eligible to return from suspension this week, but head coach Dirk Koetter has yet to say who will start against the Bears in Chicago on Sunday.
FitzMagic fired off 28.1 FanDuel points on Monday night. He's now averaging 33.8 FanDuel points per game this season, with 1,230 passing yards (1st in the NFL), 11 touchdowns (2nd), and 4 interceptions.
