On the first drive of Sunday’s game, Jameis Winston threw a bad interception right to Detroit Lions linebacker Jahlani Tavai.
It was the fifth time Winston threw an interception on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ opening drive this season. Quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers hadn’t thrown more than five interceptions all season before Week 15. It was Winston’s 24th interception of the season, eight more than anyone else at that moment.
Winston finished the half with 308 yards and three touchdowns. All with a broken thumb, and without Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans.
