starting the quarterback job in Tampa Bay for another week.Now if "Fitzmagic" can figure out how to keep the Buccaneers from digging themselves such a big hole early in games.Fitzpatrick replaced the struggling Jameis Winston and threw for 243 yards and four touchdowns Ryan Jensen Jersey , but it wasn't nearly enough for the Buccaneers to overcome a 28-point first half deficit as they lost 42-28 to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Fitzpatrick threw two interceptions, including one in the first quarter to Eric Reid that led to Carolina's first touchdown."Ryan did some good things today," said coach Dirk Koetter, who confirmed Fitzpatrick will start against the Redskins on Sunday. "We've got to play better across the board."That includes on defense, where the Bucs have gone five games this season without forcing a turnover. They haven't had an interception since Week 3."If you're not getting any help, you better not be turning it over on offense," Koetter said.Fitzpatrick didn't get much help from his top receivers Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson, who were essentially non-factors.Evans was blanketed all day by cornerback James Bradberry and managed just one 16-yard reception on 10 targets. Jackson saw limited playing time and caught just two passes for 32 yards against rookie Donte Jackson, who intercepted Fitzpatrick on a downfield heave late in the fourth quarter to seal Carolina's third straight win.It was slot receiver Adam Humphries and tight end O.J. Howard who did most of the damage. Humphries had eight catches for 82 yards and two touchdowns, while Howard hauled in four catches for 53 yards and two more scores.Despite the loss, Humphries said Fitzpatrick never gave up — and wouldn't let his teammates, either."He's a veteran Chandler Catanzaro Jersey , and he knows how to bounce back and handle adversity," Humphries said. "Even after the pick, he wasn't shaken up at all. You could just tell he was composed and was able to put a couple good drives together."Said Fitzpatrick: "Yeah, there was a lot of time left in the fourth quarter there when we brought it within seven. The thing I think about in our huddle is there is always that optimism and confidence, no matter who we are playing, no matter what the score is, winning or losing, we know what we are capable of. That is always a great feeling to know that, that huddle has that kind of confidence."Although the Bucs (3-5) have lost four of their last five and are four games behind the Saints and three behind the Panthers in the NFC South, Fitzpatrick remains upbeat that they can turn things around in the second half of the season.Tampa Bay hosts Washington next week and then visits the New York Giants, giving them a shot to get back to .500 on the season."We know we have the talent. We can't keep digging ourselves into these holes," Fitzpatrick said.Fitzpatrick got the starting nod after Winston turned the ball over 11 times in the previous 3 陆 games after returning from a league-imposed three-game suspension. He nearly rallied the Bucs back last week against Cincinnati after replacing Winston John Lynch Jersey , but the comeback fell short with the Bengals holding on for a 37-34 win."We go out, we get behind, we get killed in the second quarter, then rally like (heck) in the third quarter and then everybody thinks we're back in it and then we fade off at the end," Koetter said. "That's definitely the pattern that we're in. If I knew one thing to fix it I'd do it right now, but I don't know what that is." The Pittsburgh Steelers withstood a second half rally from Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buccaneers to get their first win of the season with a 30-27 victory in Tampa Bay on Monday night.Ben Roethlisberger slipped out of a tackle by Gerald McCoy and flipped a pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster for 18 yards to all but seal the win with just over two minutes to play. Pittsburgh watched a 20-point halftime lead cut to just three with 5:43 left to play. However, the Buccaneers were unable to move the ball on their one last chance on offense and the Tampa Bay defense couldn’t get the ball back.Roethlisberger completed 30 of 38 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns with one interception against the Buccaneers. Meanwhile, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 411 yards on 30 of 50 passing with three touchdowns, but his three interceptions were a part of four Tampa Bay turnovers that created too big of a hole to dig out from.According to the Buccaneers, Fitzpatrick became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 400 yards in three straight games. While Jameis Winston is set to return from suspension this week, Fitzpatrick’s play may keep him in the starting lineup.The Buccaneers took an early lead before the Steelers got rolling. Roethlisberger was intercepted by safety Justin Evans to give Tampa Bay a shortened field to work with. Five plays later, Fitzpatrick connected with Cameron Brate on a 4-yard score to give the Buccaneers the lead.The Buccaneers then struggled to slow down Roethlisberger as Pittsburgh took control of the game.A 75-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Vance McDonald – along with a brutal stiff arm of safety Chris Conte – got the Steelers on the board Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey , though the extra point by Chris Boswell was missed leaving Tampa Bay with a 7-6 lead. A 38-yard Boswell field goal would put Pittsburgh on top, 9-7, early in the second quarter.A Chris Godwin fumble recovered by the Steelers set up a quick scoring drive as Roethlisberger connected with Antonio Brown for a 27-yard touchdown to extend their lead to 16-7.The Buccaneers survived two Fitzpatrick interceptions without yielding any points, but a third interception was returned for a 10-yard touchdown by Bud Dupree to grab a 23-7 lead.After a 21-yard Chandler Catanzaro field goal trimmed the lead to 23-10, Roethlisberger led a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive capped with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Switzer over the final 1:15 of the first half to take a 20-point lead into the break.Tampa Bay began to chip away at the lead from there. Catanzaro made a 28-yard field goal midway through the third quarter to cut the lead to 30-13. Fitzpatrick hit Godwin for a 4-yard touchdown after a 12-play, 63-yard drive to trim the lead to 10 points. A nine-play, 92-yard drive was capped by a 24-yard pass from Fitzpatrick to Mike Evans to make it a 30-27 game with just under six minutes remaining.However, the Buccaneers would go three-and-out on their final possession and tried to get the ball back after punting away. The throw to Smith-Schuster and a 17-yard run by James Conner closed the door on the Buccaneers.
