After back to back seasons going 5-11 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the future looked bright with Bruce Arians taking the reigns as head coach. They entered a much-anticipated week one matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, eager to prove it was a new day in Tampa Bay.
However, what took place at Raymond James Stadium was not something new, but rather something fans of the Buccaneers were used to seeing. What that sight is, are passes caught by opposing teams that were thrown by Buccaneers’ quarterback Jameis Winston. In the 31-17 defeat of the Buccaneers at the hands of the 49ers, Winston turned the ball over three times, including an indefensible throw to crush their chances at a comeback with two minutes left in the game.
