There were rough stretches for backup quarterback Justin Fields against the starting defense of the Buccaneers... pass-protection whiffs don't help, but neither does holding onto the ball as long as Fields does on some snaps...

Beyond pass-protection whiffs from his offensive line, Fields held onto the ball too long on some snaps, leading to a strip sack.
