Yes, Jameis Winston threw an interception on the team’s opening drive again. Yes, it was returned for a pick-six. And, yes, he threw another pick on Tampa Bay’s next drive.
But, hey, he still deserves a new contract, right? Apparently, so.
While Winston looks like he’ll be back in Tampa next year, the team better hope he can fix his turnover problem. He has 26 interceptions on the year. But, as frustrating as that may be for Bucs fans, there’s some good news to be had, too.
Take a look.
Jameis Winston threw an INT on the opening drive for the 5th time in the last 7 games.
The @Buccaneers are 4-0 in the previous 4 games.

So, while the Bucs may still have a shot at winning today against the Texans, the stats on Winston should certainly make the Bucs wary about offering him any long-term deal.
Jameis Winston now has 24 multi-interception games since entering the league in 2015, most in the NFL over that span.
Winston also becomes the fifth player in NFL history with 30 passing touchdowns and 25 interceptions in the same season. pic.twitter.com/sNLbd9ED1C
