Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week by the NFL on Wednesday after throwing for four touchdowns and rushing for another in the team's season-opening win.
Fitzpatrick threw for a career-best 417 yards and also rushed for 36 more in the Buccaneers' 48-40 victory versus the NFC South-rival New Orleans Saints on Sunday. His 453 combined passing and rushing yards are the third-most in a game in Buccaneers' history.
