TAMPA — Buccaneers rookie quarterback Jameis Winston saw an opportunity open up in front of him on a critical third-and-goal play from the Giants 10-yard line late Sunday afternoon and seized it.
Out of what he later described as “sheer want-to,’’ Winston scrambled to the 2-yard line and launched himself into the air and over the goal line for his third rushing touchdown of the season.
If some of Winston’s teammates could have seized an opportunity or two as well as Winston did, the Bucs might be celebrating their fourth victory of the season today instead of mourning their sixth loss.
