Ryan Fitzpatrick stunned the NFL world last Sunday with a five-touchdown performance in a win over the New Orleans Saints. In Week 2, Fitzmagic was at it again, putting together an absolutely dominating performance against the defending Super Bowl champs.
By halftime, Fitzpatrick had already completed 14-of-19 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns, including a 75-yard bomb to DeSean Jackson on the game’s opening play (watch here).
Tampa Bay appears well on its way to winning a second straight game against NFC playoff contenders, and the team’s success is in large part due to the Harvard grad who has a strange pre-game beard-rubbing ritual.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to yet another weekend of Fitzmagic.
