Jameis Winston's 4 interceptions leave Tampa Bay Buccaneers with quarterback dilemma

Ryan Fitzpatrick finished his postgame media session, turned the corner and saw Jameis Winston heading down the hallway. The two quarterbacks exchanged a supportive fist-bump. It also might have been a passing-of-the-torch moment. Fitzpatrick took over after Winston threw four interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- and rallied Tampa Bay with such an impressive performance that the job might be back in his hands. The Buccaneers have to pick one or the other following their 37-34 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Nobody will be surprised if it's the bearded one. Fitzpatrick had only a couple of minutes to warm up after Jessie Bates returned Winston's fourth interception for a 34-16 lead. Fitzpatrick led the Buccaneers (3-4) to a field goal and a pair of touchdowns, including his tying 18-yard pass and conversion with 1:05 left.
