TAMPA — The Bucs weren't perfect on offense in Sunday's 29-7 win over the Bears, but they came close on one play to set up a 50-yard field goal before halftime.

Up 23-0, given the ball at their 25 with 1:04 left, the Bucs could have easily just run out the half, content to safeguard a dominating lead. Instead, they worked on that two-minute drill, with Jameis Winston completing four passes for 53 yards to set up the kick.

"It feels great. We wanted that two-minute opportunity," Winston said after the game.
