Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston became the first player in NFL history to pass for at least 4,000 yards in each of his first two seasons as the Buccaneers closed the 2016 campaign with a 17-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Winston completed 20-of-35 passes for 202 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The former Hueytown High School star tossed a 10-yard touchdown pass to complete an eight-play, 74-yard drive with 3:13 left in the game to break a 10-10 tie.
Winston threw for 4,042 yards last season to join Cam Newton and Andrew Luck as the only players with 4,000 passing yards in their rookie seasons.
