Falcons-Bucs Turning Point, Week 13: Winston's 3rd-and-19 run

Remember when an NFL executive compared Jameis Winston with JaMarcus Russell back in April?

"With Jameis Winston I see JaMarcus Russell," the executive told Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "They do dumb things. Isn't it interesting?"

Another "personnel man" said Winston was "a quarterback that can't run" and "has no power in his legs."

Exhibit A: Winston's 5-yard touchdown run in the first quarter Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. He now shares the Buccaneers record of five rushing touchdowns in a single season with Steve Young (1986) and Shaun King (2000).
