Winston tosses 5 TD passes, Buccaneers beat Eagles 45-17
But it is three years into the experiment and after a 45-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Linc Sunday, the project clearly is teetering.
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played about as outstanding a game as a rookie quarterback has played. He methodically carved up the Eagles defense.
As a team, the Bucs racked up 521 yards – the second-most in franchise history behind the 573 they gained in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in 1980.
“It was embarrassment”, Cox said. NBC10’s Randy Gyllenhaal speaks to disappointed fans who share their views on the team as well as head coach Chip Kelly. The Eagles looked to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory after playing really well for the first few quarters, then watching themselves unravel in the final three.
“We have to go back and see what we did wrong today, make the necessary corrections, and stick together”. “We should have won this one”. It’s time to get a win. We have to get that man-to-man guy on the screen like that. You can’t question his heart, but that is a very unsafe play. But (crash of cymbals) they did that with each other. “And there’s nothing wrong with that. And so the mature part is that we talked about it again”.
Sproles was unavailable for comment.
“I feel sick to my stomach”, Koetter said, per ESPN. He is 14 of 23 passing for 156 yards with one INT this season. The game wasn’t that close. 500 or better this late in a season for the first time since November 2012. None of it worked. Afterward, players said they were merely discussing a miscommunication on the play.

How bad was it? Mark Sanchez gets the start at QB. The 50-50 drawing topped out around a ridiculously low $116,000. However, the good has started to outweigh the bad, both for Winston and for Tampa Bay nearly across the board.
“You can’t dwell or you’ll keep getting kicked in the teeth”, right tackle Lane Johnson said.
“I don’t have an explanation for it”, Kelly said, “but I know we weren’t ready to play on defense”. At this point, we are just dealing with scrimmages until the end of the year.
The play was hard to watch, but the lack of effort was even worse. He is well on his way to justifying the No. 1 overall pick the Bucs used on him.
On third-and-10, the Bucs line up in the empty back formation once more but don’t run the cross concept. The only turnover was on a weird double-fumble early in the game in which defender Jacquies Smith gave it back to the Eagles.
On first down, the Bucs target Biggers, who is lined up opposite slot receiver Adam Humphries. His five TD passes tied the National Football League rookie record set by Detroit’s Matthew Stafford in 2009.
Winston entered Week 11 having led the Bucs to four wins in nine games and then broke out with a career-best touchdown passes mark on the road at Philadelphia.
The Buccaneers (4-5), though, seem to have found a groove behind the rookie Winston.
The Bucs tied the game later in the first quarter after Martin rushed for 58 yards to the Eagles’ 8-yard line. He capped a 56-yard drive with the winning 1-yard touchdown plunge with 54 seconds to play.
“We kind of (soiled) the bed everywhere”, said Eagles outside linebacker Connor Barwin. Darren Sproles scores to make it 21-14 Tampa Bay.
MOVING THE CHAINS: Winston and the Buccaneers were outstanding on third downs, converting 9 of 12 while building a 35-14 lead. He threw an interception in the end zone that ended the Eagles chances of a comeback.
