Jameis Winston: Winston engineers Week 13 upset win
Coupled with a one-point loss by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, they Bucs have moved into a first-place tie in the NFC South.
4 days till the government shutdown.
Indianapolis Colts At New York Jets: I got this one figured out.
“It’s the first time since I’ve been here for five years that we’ve actually been playing meaningful football in December”, Tandy said. “So we’re going to take 24 hours to celebrate and then get back to work”. It would be the sixth time in seven seasons the last-place Chargers failed to advance. Well if so, it might be too late for them.
“We’re having fun, and when you have fun good things happen”, rookie cornerback Vernon Hargreaves said.
Hargreaves had a hand in both pickoffs.
David intercepted Phillip Rivers’ pass and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown that helped spark the Buccaneers to 21 points after halftime. Mike Evans caught 5 of 7 targetted passes for 99 yards and a TD, with a 45-yard play. Hargreaves hollered out what route to look for. Tandy got in front of a pass to Dontrelle Inman along the right sideline and picked it off. I thought we played it better overall in the second half, but I don’t think we played overall as well in that game than as we had the last three weeks.
“We have four left to play and as you have heard me say in the past, we signed up for all of them, ” Philip Rivers said. Chris Conte had 11 tackles (7 solo) and the Buccaneers had three sacks and nine tackles for loss in the game.
CB Brandon Flowers remains out with a concussion and was replaced by Craig Mager. San Diego resides in the basement in the AFC West despite winning two of its last three games, including a 21-13 triumph at Houston in Week 12.
“It’s refreshing. I’ve said many times if you didn’t know better, it could come across nearly as corny sometimes”, Koetter said.
Bolts special teams once again came up short, as Josh Lambo missed a 53-yard kick and Drew Kaser had two below-average punts in gross (40 and 38 yards) and a below-average net of 35.3 on three punts.
Koetter said his team has rallied behind quarterback Jameis Winston. James Winston was strong for the Bucs passing for 220 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Last time the Bucs had seven wins through 12 games. That being said, Evans is a half a foot taller than Hayward (6-5 vs. 5-11) and is a nightmare matchup for any and all defensive backs San Diego may put in his path.
After the Buccaneers went for two after a touchdown to take a 28-21 lead, Bosa appeared to have suffered a left leg injury.
In Monday’s exclusive “Kotter’s Korner” interview, Bucs head coach, Dirk Koetter did not shy away from his team’s position, nor the possibilities that lie ahead. But they have hung tough, and with Sunday’s victory at San Diego they reinforced that they are indeed a major factor in the NFC playoff race.
“The threat that this defense could be this good every week and this offense, with Jameis Winston – who has been really good in November – and Mike Evans, who is separating as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, is only getting better should strike fear into every team in the league down the stretch, ” Kurtenbach writes. Shorts pumped a fist toward his teammates as he was driven off. Tampa Bay’s defense has also come alive over the past month, keeping teams out of the end zone and coming up with big plays.
