The Buccaneers fell to 0-6 with a 28-21 loss to the Panthers on Sunday, but head coach Raheem Morris told reporters he will not be benching Josh Johnson in favor of rookie Josh Freeman as the team prepares to face the Patriots, who blew out the Titans 59-0 in Week Six, in London.

"No, we have a short week," Morris said. "We’ll be on a plane in three days, taking a long trip and Josh Johnson is the quarterback."

Johnson has started the last three games since replacing Byron Leftwich under center. The second-year veteran has completed 54-of-99 passes for 529 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions. He fumbled five times in the loss to Carolina, but only one was recovered by the Panthers.
