Is anyone surprised that Bruce Arians has things rolling in the right direction in Tampa Bay?

The NFC South isn’t exactly a gauntlet, but the Buccaneers are sitting in second place with Arians calling the shots — a far cry from where they were under Dirk Koetter. Jameis Winston is still insanely mistake-prone, but Arians has been able to find a way to win games nonetheless.

This could be the start of a fruitful stay for Arians in Tampa Bay. If he gets a couple of more impact players on defense next season, watch out for the Buccaneers.
