Bucs' Jameis Winston passes first test in regaining starting QB position

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston accomplished Step 1 in his quest to re-solidify himself as the starting quarterback over the next six games -- beating the San Francisco 49ers 27-9 and not turning the ball over for the first time this season. It was also his first game without throwing an interception since Dec. 24 of 2017.

Winston completed 29 of 38 passes for 312 yards, two touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 117.4. He looked far more like himself Sunday instead of the struggling quarterback who matched last season's 11 interceptions in five games this year.
