-

TAMPA, Fla. — Ryan Fitzpatric­k led two long scoring drives and Tampa Bay limited the Jets to less than 200 yards of offense until late in the fourth quarter to snap a five-game losing streak.

With Fitzpatric­k filling in for injured quarterbac­k Jameis Winston, the Buccaneers (3-6) used three field goals to build a 9-3 lead. Charles Sims put the game out of reach with a 6-yard touchdown reception with just over six minutes remaining.

Fitzpatric­k, facing the team he played for the past two seasons, completed 17 of 34 passes for 187 yards and was intercepte­d once.

Fitzpatric­k, 34, one of just 4 players in NFL history to throw TD passes for 7 different teams, led a 7-minute drive that produced a field goal in the first quarter. He finished a 15-play, 81-yard march, also lasting more than 7 minutes, with his TD pass to Sims to make it 15-3.
