Tampa Bay Buccaneers roundtable: What's the biggest reason to believe?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' four-game winning streak put them in the NFC playoff picture entering the final quarter of the NFL season. As part of our Bucs Quarterly Report, we asked the Tampa Bay Times Bucs' coverage team for the biggest reason to believe in the Bucs. Here's their responses:

Leadership backed up by performance

Rick Stroud, @NFLStroud: Jameis Winston's leadership. He's backing it up with performance.

Winston has galvanized this football team in his own youthful, goofy way. But it's genuine and players respond to it. Coach Dirk Koetter says Winston says things players won't say or wish they could say, so we can only imagine he holds everyone accountable, including himself.
