Winston, Buccaneers focused on winning, not playoff race
TAMPA, Fla. — Jameis Winston can no longer ignore the reality of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being in the thick of a race for their first playoff berth in nearly a decade.
The second-year quarterback routinely shrugs off questions about the young team’s growing playoff prospects, although he concedes that’s becoming increasingly more difficult.
“It’s in my mind,” Winston said after Sunday’s 16-11 victory over Drew Brees and the sputtering New Orleans Saints extended the team’s longest winning streak in 14 years to five games.
