The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking for their fourth-straight win on Sunday when they take on the Detroit Lions. The Bucs may very well be one of the hottest teams in the league right now, having gone 4-1 since Week 10.
The big story of their season, of course, has been quarterback Jameis Winston, who is playing on the final year of his rookie contract. He’s on pace to throw for 5,000 yards, but also has a league-high 23 interceptions, leading many to wonder what the future holds for Winston and the Bucs franchise.
The main issue for the quarterback has been consistency. You never know which Winston is going to show up on Sundays — the one who will throw for over 400 yards and a few scores, or the one who will throw three interceptions.
That perplexing weekly question might be why Bill Simmons of the Ringer thinks Winston is the most exciting player in the league to watch after Lamar Jackson. You might think Simmons is joking, but the more he explains it, the more sensible he sounds.
Take a look.
