Jameis Winston is thriving off play-action passes

We all know Jameis Winston looked a whole lot better in his second NFL start than he did in his first. Winston only threw 21 passes against the Saints, though, so what exactly his he doing so well?

The Bucs have run 13 play-action fakes through their first two games and it’s clear that Winston is having success off on these plays. The rookie is 4/8 for 112 yards, but that doesn’t even tell the whole story.

Winston’s only two incompletions coming out of play-action on Sunday were drops by Louis Murphy and Austin Seferian-Jenkins that could have easily been caught.
