Jameis Winston tosses 5 TDs, leads New Orleans Saints to stunning rout of Green Bay Packers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Despite losing Drew Brees to retirement and their home stadium to Hurricane Ida for Week 1, the New Orleans Saints and Jameis Winston got off to a stunningly dominant start in Week 1.

Winston threw five touchdown passes in his starting debut with the Saints -- with zero turnovers -- as they routed the Green Bay Packers 38-3 in their makeshift "home" venue at Jacksonville's TIAA Bank Field on Sunday. He capped his day with a 55-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Deonte Harris in the fourth quarter, while New Orleans' defense was just as dominant with two interceptions of reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers.
