Is FitzMagic waning? If so, it begins where FitzMagic started: With the eyes.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was one of the early story lines of the 2018 season. The veteran QB, starting in place of the suspended Jameis Winston, got out to a scorching start, throwing 11 touchdown passes over Tampa Bay’s first three games. But in the wake of a poor performance against the Chicago Bears in a blowout loss, Fitzpatrick returned to the bench.
Winston, however, struggled during his return to the lineup and head coach Dirk Koetter made the decision to call upon Fitzpatrick once more.
