Jameis Winston’s early interceptions against Texans may actually be a good thing

Find out why Jameis Winston throwing two early picks against the Texans may be good for the Buccaneers in the long run.

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.

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 throws another crazy interception before halftime

Bad luck just seems to find Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, evident by this interception right before halftime vs Saints.

The next season of the Netflix series “Stranger Things” should really just be a documentary about Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, because this guy seems to have some of the strangest luck around.

Winston entered Sunday with 14 interceptions on the year, and threw two against the New Orleans Saints today before halftime. The first one came through no fault of his own, after tight end O.J. Howard made a bumbling attempt to catch the ball.

The second came courtesy of another strange play.

Take a look as Saints linebacker Kiko Alonso tips the Winston pass right into the arms of his teammate.

Bad luck just seems to find Winston, and fans on Twitter had plenty to say about the play of the Bucs’ quarterback.
