Jameis Winston struggles with Bruce Arians' offense in debut

TAMPA, Fla. -- Throughout training camp, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians downplayed the significance of quarterback Jameis Winston's interceptions in practice -- including days when he had multiple picks -- deeming them a function of Todd Bowles' unpredictable defense and the offense learning a new system. During a 31-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, however, it was clear that Winston and the offense are still trying to figure things out.

Turnover machine: Winston was intercepted three times. The first bounced out of tight end O.J. Howard's hands and into the hands of linebacker Mark Nzeocha.
