Ignore the gnarly beard and Harvard pedigree, Ryan Fitzpatrick picked apart the Saints cleaner than 12 vultures on a carcass.
The journeyman quarterback threw four touchdowns and had a career high 417 yards passing as Tampa Bay dumped New Orleans, 48-40. The Buccaneers host the Eagles next week. The Birds opened as three-point favorites.
"I hope somebody had him in fantasy because he went crazy today," Bucs receiver Mike Evans said. "And he was running the ball — phenomenal game. One of the most complete games I've seen."
Fitzpatrick, who was owned in just three percent of the fantasy leagues run by CBS Sports and started in just one percent, also ran through Saints safety Marcus Williams for his first rushing touchdown since 2015.
