Why Jameis Winston is starting to build a lead in the quarterback competition

When you look at some of the numbers of the two quarterbacks competing for the starting job with the New Orleans Saints, they might not seem too different.

Taysom Hill started the game and completed 8 of 12 passes for 81 yards.

Jameis Winston came in behind Hill and completed 7 of 12 passes for 96 yards.

Both quarterbacks have one interception on their ledger, while Winston also threw a touchdown pass. But after watching the game, it seems to me like Jameis Winston should be considered the current front-runner in the otherwise too-close-to-call quarterback competition.
