♦ QB Jameis Winston struggled during the blitz period for a second straight Tuesday. He was intercepted by CB Alterraun Verner on the first play and then again two plays later by LB Lavonte David.
♦ Winston, who threw three interceptions on five plays during a blitz period on Monday, settled down eventually, but only after he dialed down his throws, regularly checking the ball down to his backs.
♦ The strength of the offense Tuesday was the running game. It was for a while at least. Bucs backs dominated an early red-zone running period with Charles Sims and Bobby Rainey standing out the most.
