The Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Carolina Panthers today. It’s the Bucs’ first division game and Jameis Winston’s first chance to show that he’s the best quarterback in the division in a direct battle. Or at least the best quarterback not named Drew Brees.
Cam Newton has been having a down year: more interceptions than touchdowns, oddly conservative, and taking far too many sacks. Meanwhile, Jameis Winston is having the best season of his career, and is coming off a terrific game against the stout Buffalo Bills defense.
