CHICAGO -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense surrendering six touchdowns to Mitch Trubisky might have been the real issue in their 48-10 loss to the Chicago Bears, but what they do with quarterback Jameis Winston affects the state of their franchise for much, much longer.
The Bucs had planned to give Ryan Fitzpatrick the start Sunday and use their Week 5 bye to reevaluate. Instead, Fitzpatrick struggled and Winston entered for the second half. Though he didn't fare a whole lot better statistically, Winston did give the Bucs a spark, throwing a fourth-quarter touchdown to tight end Cameron Brate.
