TAMPA, Fla. _ What was it Bruce Arians said about Jameis Winston? He's done some really, really good things and some really, really bad things?
That was on display in the Bucs' 38-35 win over the Colts Sunday.
The game was a microcosm of Winston's career.
He passed for a career-high 456 yards, threw four touchdowns to four different receivers and ran for a score. He also threw three crushing interceptions. He played through injury.
Winston's first pass of the game was intercepted by Colts linebacker Darius Leonard.
His last pass was a game-winning 12-yard touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman with 3:51 to play.
Simply amazing.
It was the third straight win for the Bucs (6-7) and their fourth in five games.
It was the third time this season Winston's first pass was intercepted and the fifth time the Bucs' first drive of the game ended in an interception.
That led to a Colts touchdown. Then with the Bucs trailing 17-14 late in the first half, Leonard faked a blitz and dropped into coverage, intercepting a pass intended for Chris Godwin and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown to make it 24-14.
It's the fifth time this season Winston's interception has been returned for a touchdown.
Winston came right back, converting a big third down with a 10-yard pass to Justin Watson before finding Cameron Brate for a 3-yard TD pass. His 61-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans could not have been thrown any better.
Winston finished the first half 20-of-28 yards passing for 277 yards (the most in one half in his five-season NFL career) with two TDs and two interceptions. He also ran for a score.
Winston's 23 interceptions lead the NFL and opponents have scored 96 points off Winston turnovers, the most in the league.
Winston missed the first series of the second half with an injury to his right hand. When Winston did get back in the game, he led the Bucs to a score. He fired 33 yards to O.J. Howard and then a 17-yard TD pass to Justin Watson.
