The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a mixed season in the NFL so far. Standing third in the NFC South rankings after a 3-5 start, they came up against the Chicago Bears in Florida this evening.
Facing third an 10 on their own 23 and in the lead by seven, the Bucs were facing a little bit of pressure. The snap comes and it looks as if Winston's going to hit the turf. He's under pressure from the entire Bears pass rushers.He is forced into his own end zone. What happens next is simply brilliant.
.@Jaboowins escapes the ENTIRE Bears pass rush.
And still finds Mike Evans for 39 yards.

Dipping, ducking and diving before heaving it to Mike Evans for a gain of 39. So many quarter backs would've just thrown it away and taken the punt. But the first overall pick of last year's draft proved his worth.
As if that wasn't good enough, on the very next play, Winston went deep again. This time he targeted Freddie Martino, who hauled it in for a 43 yard touchdown.
.@Jaboowins going DEEP...
Got 'em!
Freddie Martino is WIDE OPEN for the TD! #SeigeTheDay https://t.co/vDhJFWZfPT— NFL (@NFL) November 13, 2016
From his own end zone to the opponent's in two passes. If the Bucs can continue that kind of form for the last seven games they are in with a shout of sneaking into the playoffs.
