Jameis Winston — not Drew Brees — throws first Saints TD vs. Bucs on wild trick play

Midway through the second quarter Sunday, Jameis Winston was the leading passer for the New Orleans Saints.

He got there on one play.

With the Saints trailing 10-6 after a Drew Brees interception set up the first Tampa Bay touchdown, head coach Sean Payton drew up a trick play for the former Buccaneers quarterback.

On first-and-10 at the Saints 44, running back Alvin Kamara lined up in shotgun behind center without Brees on the field. Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders ran in motion from the left side and took a handoff from Kamara before tossing it to Winston, who had lined up wide right.
