Rookie QB Jameis Winston completed 18 of 32 passes for 182 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions against the Saints on Sunday, leading to a single-game passer rating of 83.1. That in turn dropped his overall passer rating for the season very slightly from 85.6 to 85.4. That remains the sixth-best single-season mark in team history, and the best ever by a rookie. Winston could join Josh Freeman (2010) as the only quarterbacks in team history to start all 16 games in a season and have a passer rating of 85 or better.
