GAME HIGHLIGHTS Click on the boxes below to view the clips
Jameis Winston and Vincent Jackson hook up for the opening touchdown
Then Winston caps an 80-yard drive to start the second half with his own rushing score
Winston shows off his big arm with a bomb to Louis Murphy to set up another fieldgoal
The 2015 Bucs won their first game of the season and ended a seven-game losing streak to the Saints with a victory in the
Bayou. Jameis Winston and the Tampa offense played a totally different game to the one a week before and the rookie threw for
a score and ran for another as the Bucs opened up a 23-10 lead going into the fourth quarter. Fumbles on consective plays
allowed the Saints to close within a score but Henry Melton’s fumble recovery late in the game set up Kyle Brindza’s fourth
fieldgoal of the game and a late desperation drive by the Saints came to naught when Drew Brees’ final pass was batted
incomplete out of the endzone.
