The Buccaneers desperately needed this win. Not just for the victory but for overall confidence within the organization. The offense needed to show the ability to move the chains, control the clock and protect the football. They did just that. The defense needed to show they could make a stop when it mattered and apply pressure to the quarterback. They did just that. The team needed Winston to not turn the ball over. He just did that.
The Buccaneers just did that.
