EDGE Analysis
McSorley's first NFL start wasn't disastrous by any stretch, but ball security was an issue for the fourth-year pro. McSorley's first lost fumble came midway through the first quarter at the Buccaneers' 30-yard line as a result of a sack, proving costly to the Cardinals even though it didn't lead to any Tampa Bay points. The second was even more consequential, as McSorley was charged with a turnover on an attempted fourth-quarter pitch to Keaontay Ingram that was recovered by the Bucs' William Gholston and led to a game-tying field goal. McSorley may be one and done as a starter, as Colt McCoy should have a good chance of clearing concussion protocol in time for a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons.
