Winston completed 29 of 47 passes for 325 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Panthers. He also gained 14 yards on three rushes and scored a rushing touchdown.
The 2015 first overall pick's closing performance of his rookie year was a mixed bag, with Winston tallying his second 300-yard performance of his career (and of the last three weeks), but also throwing multiple interceptions for the first time since Week 10 versus the Cowboys. Winston also eclipsed the 4,000-yard mark for 2015, and completes the season with a respectable 22:15 TD:INT ratio. He impressively started all 16 games and undoubtedly garnered invaluable experience that should serve him well as he intends to take a significant leap in Year 2. With stud wideout Mike Evans and stalwart all-around back Charles Sims on board, Winston is guaranteed two solid weapons heading into 2016. If Tampa can secure free agent Doug Martin over the offseason, it will only serve to further enhance Winston's arsenal heading into what will be a pivotal year for both the franchise and Lovie Smith regime.
