5 Bucs to Watch Against Carolina

1. QB Jameis Winston
Quarterback Jameis Winston is coming off the second-best game of his career statistically after Monday night’s contest against Atlanta. Winston recorded a 130.5 passer rating and threw for three touchdowns, completing 27 of his 35 passing attempts and totaling 299 yards. More than the stats, Winston seemed comfortable; his throws were by and large right on the money - especially considering the flux of injuries that left both sides of the ball on a constant rotation throughout the game. Winston was able to connect with the likes of tight end/fullback Alan Cross and wide receiver Adam Humphries, who nabbed his first touchdown of the season on a 16-yard pass from Winston.
