Bucs journal: Dirk Koetter says Jameis Winston's interceptions were huge swings

TAMPA — The Bucs rise or fall based on the play of QB Jameis Winston. His failure to take care of the football was one of the biggest factors in their 34-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Winston passed for 328 yards and two touchdowns. But it was his three interceptions that coach Dirk Koetter was focused on, including one which proved to be the biggest play in the game.

"The key play in the game was five minutes to go in the half — it was 14-3 — we had a wide-open DeSean Jackson that's going to make it 14-10," Koetter said.
