Who were the winners and losers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) week eleven win against the Miami Dolphins (4-6)?

With Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm the Buccaneers have managed to win two games in a row, their latest down south in Miami. The Dolphins’ Jay Cutler was battered and intercepted multiple times before eventually being replaced by Matt Moore. The backup Moore was immediately more effective than Cutler and staged a late game come-back with help from receiver Kenny Stills. A 60 yard hook-up between the two tied the game with three minutes left in the game.

This was a difficult game to grade the Buccaneer defense; they started off brilliantly but Moore cut them up and they had no answers for Landry or Stills. Strong games on offense from Mike Evans, O.J. Howard, and DeSean Jackson were ultimately enough to put Pat Murray in position to hit a game-winning field goal, but the Bucs should be worried about their second half defense. Let’s take a look at some winners and losers from the Bucs second consecutive victory.
