Buccaneers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34 Cincinnati Bengals 37

Winston's Benching One Interception Too LATE!

"The Buccaneers benched QB Jameis Winston in the third quarter after he threw the fouth interception of the game, his tenth of the season, which was returned for a Bengals touchdown. Ryan Fitzpatrick brought a resurgence onto the field as he rallied the Buccaneers back before the Bengales seald our fate on a last-second field goal for a 34-37 loss.

Fitzpatrick brought his "Fitz-Magic" stepping in with the Tampa BAY trailing 34-16. After his first drive resulting in a field goal, he nailed wide receiver Evans for a 72-yard touchdown. He followed it up with an 18-yard touchdown pass to tight end O.J. Howard and a much needed first franchise two-point conversion of the season to tie the game with 1:10 left in regulation, but two Bengal receptions put them in position for a game-winning 44-yard field goal by Randy Bullock.

"Thanks For The Hand" BUT I DON'T NEED IT BABY!

Pierre-Paul's Sack of QB Andy Dalton Is A Team Record

With a fourth-quarter sack of Bengals’ quarterback Andy Dalton, Pierre-Paul continues on-course with his 2018 campaign adding a seventh and eighth sacks of the season, breaking a franchise record nailing a sack in each of the last six consecutive games.

Despite a solid defensive performance todayn, the Buccaneers couldn’t hold on the bengals final drive.

Fitzpatrick completed 11 of his 15 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns having only played a little over one quarter, while Winston did connect with DeSean Jackson on a deep ball, hitting the veteran for a 60-yard touchdown. Mike Evans led the Buccaneers offense with six receptions for 179 yards, while Peyton Barber with 19 carries, averaged 4.5 yards per-rush, adding 85 yards and a score.

Tanpa BAY outgained the Bengals on offense 576 to 402, but the minus-4 Winston turnovers proved to be our undoing..

"Captain Crunch?" I'M EATING ME SOME KELLOGS & FEEDING YOU TURF!
