Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traveled to the Motor City to take on the Detroit Lions in Week 15. With the Lions defense struggling and the Buccaneers offense rolling, it appeared as if the barrel may have flipped when Winston tossed another interception on the opening drive. That however, became just a blemish on his stat sheet as he finished the game with four touchdown passes, giving him 30 on the season, breaking his single-season record of 28.

Winston also has the most passing yards in a two-game span in Buccaneers history with 914 yards, combined. 458 yards on the day will also put Winston in a class of his own within the NFL stat book, as he is the first player in history to throw for over 450 yards in consecutive games.

For the highs and lows that Winston provides the team, it should be noted that Mike Evans went down last week, for the remainder of the season, with a hamstring injury, the team also lost WR’s Chris Godwin and Scotty Miller against the Lions in their 38-17 victory.
The Buccaneers will look to win five straight as the Houston Texans come to town for a Saturday showdown at Raymond James Stadium in Week 16.
