NFL fans had lots of jokes after Jameis Winston threw a TD on an awesome trick play

There has been a Jameis Winston sighting in New Orleans today and man was it a good one as the former Bucs QB stepped in on a trick play in the second quarter and threw a touchdown pass on an awesome play that gave the Saints a 13-10 lead.

Winston, who signed with the Saints during the last offseason after spending the first five years of his career in Tampa Bay, was lined up as a wide receiver on this play. He then took a lateral from Emmanuel Sanders and threw a perfect pass to a wide open Tre’Quan Smith who ran it in for the 56-yard touchdown.

Not great defense by the Bucs:

Welp. Now we know how wide open a receiver needs to be for Jameis Winston to not throw an interception. pic.twitter.com/aiXlDL6DiV

This question was raised by a lot of people on Twitter:

How didn’t Tampa’s defense realize a trick play was probably coming with Winston in the game?

Winston was very happy with how that worked out:

Jameis Winston has always thrived at throwing the ball to the team playing against the Bucs.
