The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense, it has been said, looks awfully good on paper. On Thursday night in Jacksonville, upstart quarterback Jameis Winston showed how it might translate to three dimensions this fall.
With the Buccaneers' offense playing the entire first half, Winston completed 21 of 29 passes for 196 yards, leading the visitors to a 12-0 halftime lead over the Jaguars. Jacksonville closed the gap during a fourth-quarter battle of deep reserves but the Buccaneers held on for a 12-8 victory, improving to 1-1 on the preseason.

Tampa Bay had 240 yards by halftime, with a fast start by running back Doug Martin opening the field for Winston to pick apart the Jaguars' defense.
