It’s not an NFL Sunday without Jameis Winston throwing an interception

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had an interception on the team’s first drive, but had a monster first quarter.

It started off as a joke, but it really does seem to be true: You can’t have an NFL Sunday without a Jameis Winston interception.

After starting off last week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with an interception on his first pass attempt, Winston waited a few plays on the opening drive before throwing his first pick of the game.

That interception gave Winston 24 on the year, which tied him with Doug Williams (1979) for the second-most interceptions by a Bucs quarterback in a season. Winston, thankfully, isn’t approaching the 35 interceptions Vinny Testaverde threw in 1988..

But, as bad as that interception looked, Winston had a monster first quarter, throwing for over 200 yards with two touchdown passes.

See how Twitter tried to make sense of Winston’s big quarter.

Two Bucs ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. Falcons, Carl Nassib on track to return

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ruled two players out for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Bucs are hoping to get Carl Nassib back on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, who have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL the past two weeks.

The Falcons, who started the season 1-7, have taken down both the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers on the road, outscoring them 55-12.

Tampa Bay is coming off a tough home loss to the Saints in Week 11, one in which quarterback Jameis Winston threw four interceptions, though you can pin one on tight end O.J. Howard.

Tampa Bay has yet to win back-to-back games this season. Another loss would send them to 3-8 and all but assure them of another losing record.

One thing to keep an eye out for early in the game Sunday is Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans, who needs just seven more yards to get to 1,000 on the season. It would be his sixth-straight 1,000 yard season, tying him with Hall of Famer Randy Moss for the most in NFL history to begin a career.
