Great defensive effort by Bucs squandered by another Winston pick

Despite great field position, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were again let down by quarterback Jameis Winston.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are slated to bring quarterback Jameis Winston back in 2020 in some capacity. But, after seeing how he’s played in the first half of today’s game against the Houston Texans, they may want to rethink that decision.

Winston has already thrown three interceptions, bringing his league-leading total to 27 now. He threw one on the opening drive for a pick-six, only to throw an interception on the next drive, too.

His third pick of the day squandered a terrific effort by the Bucs’ defense, who had forced a Houston fumble before Bucs rookie linebacker Devin White scooped it up and took it back to the Houston 31. But, the team couldn’t capitalize on the great field position as Winston threw a pick on the very first play.

Surprisingly, Tampa Bay still only found themselves down 10-3 at that point. But, all those points by Houston can be attributed to the miscues of Tampa Bay’s quarterback — one the team will be bringing back again next year.
