TAMPA, Fla. -- The ground game was stuck in neutral, there was no pass rush and defensive backs were getting burned. But for Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter, interceptions from quarterback Jameis Winston were the biggest culprit in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
It was Winston's fourth career game with three or more interceptions, tied for most among active NFL quarterbacks. That has to improve going forward if the Bucs want to be a playoff team and for Winston to realize his potential. For the immediate future, that has to improve if the Bucs defense continues to get banged up and can't come through the way it did in Week 2 with multiple takeaways.
