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

Fields struggles against starting defense; holds ball too long in key spots.

Backup quarterback Justin Fields had rough stretches against Tampa Bay's starting defense in the Week 2 preseason game. Beyond pass-protection issues, Fields held onto the ball too long on some snaps and made critical mistakes in the red zone, including a third-down play where he made a field goal opportunity more difficult. These kinds of plays cannot happen if Fields is called upon to step in for Patrick Mahomes during the regular or postseason.
