Bucs probe how to fix deep-ball chances missed vs. Bears

TAMPA — It was only minutes after the Bucs had demolished the Bears 29-7 Sunday when quarterback Jameis Winston tried one final time to connect with receiver DeSean Jackson.

"You never want to leave anything out there on the field, and I told DeSean, 'We left a lot out there. I missed you a couple times, and we've got to connect on those,' " Winston said of his locker room conversation with Jackson.

In his Tampa Bay debut, Jackson was targeted seven times and caught three passes for 39 yards, including a 21-yarder.
