Buccaneers turn to Winston in blowout loss to Bears
Jameis Winston took over at quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after halftime in an eventual 48-10 loss to the Chicago Bears.
Ryan Fitzpatrick drew the start for the fourth consecutive game and completed nine of his 18 passes for 126 yards and an interception. It marked his third straight game with a pick.
Down by five touchdowns, the Bucs were alotted an entire half to get Winston up to game speed.
However, his first drive ended in an interception after Winston's arm was hit by Bears pass-rusher Khalil Mack.
