Tampa Bay Buccaneers seeking better quarterback play in game against Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have stability at the quarterback position. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are desperately in search of the same. The teams appear headed in different directions entering an NFC South showdown Sunday in Charlotte -- and quarterback play is a big reason why. Ryan Fitzpatrick replaces Jameis Winston, who was benched after committing 11 turnovers in his last 3 1/2 games for the Buccaneers (3-4). With the former Harvard standout back at the helm, the Bucs are trying to rekindle some of the "Fitzmagic" that helped them to a 2-0 start that included a win over the New Orleans Saints. They've since lost four of their last five.
