If the Buccaneers win in Minnesota it’s due to the fact that quarterback Jameis Winston improves from last week’s outing versus the Chicago Bears.

Fans may be satisfied by an opening home game win to start off the season because a win is a win, but Winston’s game must improve.

The franchise quarterback we all know and love went a scary 18-30 for 204-yards with a QBR of 63.4 in his debut this season, and that needs to change.

Whether that be due to the rhythm being thrown off due to Hurricane Irma and less practices or just a bad day, if this team wants to step towards the playoffs it starts with Winston.

Winston now heads to Minnesota versus a successful defense in hopes of a rebound game. Can he take advantage of the situation? Can Winston and Jackson build a connection?

I bet so. And if I’m right, the Bucs leave with a win against Bradford and the Vikings.
