The Tampa Bay Buccaneers certainly have had plenty of time to get used to the idea that Jameis Winston will miss the first three games of the season because of a suspension.

Watching the quarterback light up a defense in just a quarter doesn't make it any easier.

Winston threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns after coming off the bench in the second quarter Patrick Mahomes II Jersey , and the Buccaneers beat the Tennessee Titans 30-14 Saturday night in the teams' second exhibition game.

Ryan Fitzpatrick started for a second straight week as the Buccaneers (2-0) prepare the veteran to run the offense while Winston sits out for violating the league's personal conduct policy after the NFL investigated an allegation Winston groped a female Uber driver in Arizona in March 2016.

"It is what it is," Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter said of Winston's looming suspension. "I mean, we're over that. We've got to move forward. We've got three good quarterbacks."

Fitzpatrick helped the Bucs hold the ball for 9 minutes of the first quarter, but they settled for a field goal as the quarterback was 5 of 13 for 46 yards passing.

Then Winston completed eight of his first nine passes and left with a 151.4 passer rating. He threw for big chunks, hitting Mike Evans for 38 yards and then DeSean Jackson on a 54-yarder . Winston found Chris Godwin in a pack of Titans in the end zone for an 8-yard TD and connected with Justin Watson for a 21-yard TD that gave the Bucs a 20-7 halftime lead.

"That second quarter, to have Jameis throw for 200-whatever yards in one quarter with a couple touchdowns, was pretty fun to watch," Fitzpatrick said.

Winston was just happy to get some work with the first-team offense, even if his first TD pass went into a crowd of defenders. He credited Godwin with getting open, so he threw it up and gave the receiver a chance.

"In film Jack Tatum Jersey , I'm probably going to get yelled at," Winston said.

Marcus Mariota left before Winston entered the game featuring the top two draft picks of 2015. Mariota played two series in the first quarter, and he was 4 of 7 for 80 yards with a 47-yard TD to Taywan Taylor off a screen pass.

First-year coach Mike Vrabel continues looking for his first preseason victory with the Titans (0-2).

TAYLOR'S NIGHT

Taylor, a third-round pick out of Western Kentucky a year ago, got a shout-out from LeBron James on the NFL's Instagram account for his first TD. James wrote: "SPEED KILLS! Sheesh." Taylor finished with four catches for 95 yards and two TDs. He caught a 3-yarder from Blaine Gabbert in the third quarter.

"My heart kind of jumped a little bit because you know that's my favorite player, but that's crazy though," Taylor said. "I didn't expect that. So I'm definitely, a little bit more motivation to do more of that more often."

THE MISSING

Tampa Bay didn't dress 12 players, with cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III the only starter out. Titans starting cornerback Malcolm Butler did not play, and three-time Pro Bowl tight end Delanie Walker left Thursday's practice early with an undisclosed injury. Tennessee had two other starters on the physically-unable-to-perform list in right tackle Jack Conklin and wide receiver Rishard Matthews.

INJURIES

Buccaneers running back Charles Sims was declared out with an injured knee in the opening minutes. Cornerback Jordan Whitehead hurt a shoulder and cornerback M.J. Stewart hurt a foot. Neither returned.

Titans safety Kendrick Lewis hurt his foot in the third quarter.

ANTHEM UPDATE

The Buccaneers lined up on the sideline with no visible protests. The Titans did the same Alex Okafor Jersey , and three-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jurrell Casey changed his approach. The lineman said in London in July and confirmed on the opening day of training camp that he would keep raising his first at the end of the anthem to bring attention to how the justice system treats minorities. Once the anthem ended, Casey raised his right hand to his forehead and saluted instead of raising a fist.

Casey noted he did the salute before he started raising his fist.

"I'm trying to make sure I use my platform the right way and find different ways we can use this platform in a better way," Casey said. "Not necessarily just as a protest but also helping the community out and trying to find solutions that we can get involved with using the platform."

Follow Teresa M. Walker at s://teresamwalker The Bengals celebrated their 50th season last year, finishing 7-9. They're reaching back into history again for a bit of nostalgia, honoring their 1988 Super Bowl team �the last one to do anything noteworthy in the postseason.

Owner Mike Brown remembers those giddy days 30 years ago.

"Do I think about that? All the time," Brown said. "That's what's in my mind. I know the feeling you're talking about, and I want us to somehow come back and grab onto that again. It's the best of times, and some of that is what keeps me plugging along here."

The Bengals haven't won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the sixth-longest streak of postseason futility in NFL history. They've had seven chances under coach Marvin Lewis and blown them all, including an epic last-minute meltdown against the Steelers in the 2015 season at Paul Brown Stadium.

They open a new season trying to outrun a lot of bad recent history.

The stadium will likely have a lot of empty seats when the Bengals bring members of the '88 team onto the field during their season opener against Baltimore on Thursday Justin Ellis Jersey , Sept. 13. They failed to fill the stadium for any game last season, and attendance dropped noticeably as a second straight losing season wound down.

Lewis was noncommittal about sticking around, but was rewarded with a two-year extension and a 16th chance to try to get it right. Brown's decision to stay with a coach who has the worst playoff record in NFL history sent a message of more-of-the-same in Cincinnati, where many fans have given up.

"Of course I worry about attendance figures," Brown said. "I've been able to add and subtract for a long time. I can look out there. I see what you see. Does it bother me? It bothers me to my core. I don't like it, and I dearly want to get us back to where we have the enthusiasm and the support that I think we want."

Five things to watch with the Bengals this season:

CH-CH-CHANGES: Even though Lewis stayed, Brown permitted significant changes in the coaching staff, including a new set of coordinators on offense and defense from a year ago and a new offensive line coach. While avoiding change at the top, Brown is hoping adjustments in the staff are enough to make a difference.

OH-THAT-LINE: The offensive line was the biggest reason the Bengals finished last in the league in yards gained. They traded with Buffalo for left tackle Cordy Glenn, signed right tackle Bobby Hart and drafted center Billy Price in the first round. The overhauled line had some issues in the preseason and will be the focus throughout the season.

DALTON 8.0: Quarterback Andy Dalton has proven he can be among the league's most efficient passers when he's got time. He's not as adept at improvising Chris Conley Jersey , and last year he spent a lot of time on the run because of the line's inability to protect him. The Bengals have put more emphasis on big plays under coordinator Bill Lazor, throwing deep often during preseason. The Bengals need breakout years from receiver John Ross and running back Joe Mixon â€?their top two picks last year â€?along with third-year receiver Tyler Boyd.

GROUNDED DEFENSE: The Bengals gave multiyear extensions to defensive end Carlos Dunlap and tackle Geno Atkins before the final preseason game, making them the foundation of a unit looking for improvement. The defense slipped to 18th in yards allowed last season.

TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE: The Bengals sold only 47,732 tickets for their final home game last year in their 65,515-seat stadium, their smallest crowd since 2011. They didn't come close to filling the stadium for any game, not even against the Steelers and their large contingent of fans. For their first preseason home game this season, the Bengals sold only 35,633 tickets.
