on Tampa Bay's first possession. The third-year quarterback hit
on 5 of 6 passes for 54 yards before Doug Martin went over from
2 yards out for the touchdown.
Winston then directed a 54-yard march in eight plays and a
50-yard march in 12 plays on Tampa's next two possessions, but
both drives stalled inside the 20. Winston played the first half
and completed 21 of 29 passes for 196 yards.
