Buccaneers: Handing out 3 game balls in win vs. Colts
By Cory Kinnan
The enigma himself. Yes, he threw three interceptions on Sunday, two of them being god-awful decisions under center, but on fact remains: the Buccaneers do not win the game without Winston. Winston finished the game with over 450 yards passing and four touchdowns.
Most importantly, Winston finished the game with a game winning drive for the Buccaneers as they came back to beat the Colts. The Buccaneers have a decision regarding their current quarterback after this season about his future, but at this point, Winston has played himself in position to see at least the franchise tag from the front office at One Buc.
On the year now, Winston leads the league in interceptions with 22, but he is also near the top in passing yards and touchdowns for the Buccaneers. It is truly impossible to predict how Winston is going to play on a week-to-week basis, and the Bucs need to analyze and decide how much a quarterback like that is worth paying this offseason.
This week, however, Winston came up big for the Bucs. For that, he wins the third and final game ball for orchestrating a game winning drive for the pewter and red offense. Next week? Who knows?
