NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: Vikings climb, Seahawks fall

48. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers failed to protect their franchise quarterback Jameis Winston, who was sacked three times and threw four interceptions against the Arizona Cardinals. <p>Tampa Bay will most likely be picking at the top of the draft in Philadelphia next spring, and this year is simply about growing Jameis Winston into a franchise quarterback.</p> <p>Winston was forced to throw 52 times after running back Doug Martin went down with an injury. Famous Jameis was just 27-of-52 with 243 passing yards and a lone touchdown for Tampa Bay to Mike Evans.</p> <p>Without Doug Martin being able to balance the offense, Arizona played a lot of zone defense and forced Winston to make rookie mistakes. Having only Jaquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims to lean on in the run game did little to help Jameis Winston.</p> <p>Patrick Peterson intercepted Winston in the end zone after the former Heisman winner heaved a ball 55 yards in the direction of Mike Evans. Evans made little effort to catch the ball, which was slightly over thrown. But based on Evans tremendous size and playmaking ability, he could have come down with that ball.</p> <p>Marcus Cooper managed to record a pick-six off Winston after a high screen pass was tipped and landed in Coopers arms.</p> <p>The lone bright spot to come out of the Tampa Bay defense was rookie Noah Spence recording his first NFL sack. Spence was the Buccaneers second round pick (39th overall) out of Western Kentucky.</p> <p>Tampa Bay gets the Rams at home next weekend as they look to regroup.</p>. 1-1. Previous: .
