Turnovers are helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Sunday’s NFC Divisional Round game with the New Orleans Saints.
Rookie DB Antoine Winfield Jr punched out the ball from the grasp of Jared Cook and Bucs LB Devin White picked it up and made a nice return to set up Tampa Bay.
The Bucs now have 14 points off turnovers — they led the league in the category during the season — after Tom Brady found Leonard Fournette for a 6-yard touchdown pass.
The PAT made it 20-20 deep in the third quarter.
A spot against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Jan. 24 hangs in the balance for the winner.

After seeing Antoine Winfield Jr.'s big forced fumble, it's worth noting dad Antoine Winfield with #Vikings had 2 of the biggest plays of his career vs. Saints. Had 56-yard interception return vs. them in 2004, longest of his career. Had 59-yard blocked FG for TD vs. them in 2008
