Throw to Mike Evans shows Bucs' Jameis Winston thrives when it's time to improvise

TAMPA, Fla. -- He dropped back and even tripped as he was rolling out, to escape the heavy pressure. He first ran to his right, then to his left and back to his right again. That's when Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston planted his feet and chucked the ball 39 yards downfield over the head of Tracy Porter and into the hands of a leaping Mike Evans, who made a back-breaking grab, setting up a 43-yard touchdown to Freddie Martino to make it 24-10.

"You’ve got to love that kid, the way he battles," said head coach Dirk Koetter.
