The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) had already doubled their wins from last season, but that will not stop them from adding more as they visit the Philadelphia Eagles (4-5) at the Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday for a Week 11 game in the 2015 NFL season.
Jameis Winston surely had affected the Bucs for the better, guiding Tampa Bay to their fourth win of the season last Sunday versus the Dallas Cowboys, 10-6, via Bleacher Report.
Sure, it was an ugly win and the team still has a below .500 record, but the Bucs will take it after finishing last season with a 2-14 slate.
Tampa Bay was held down by Dallas' defense to just three points in the first three quarters, but this year's first overall pick scored a 1-yard touchdown in the final minute of the game to help the team eke past the struggling Cowboys.
Meanwhile, the Eagles lost by the skin of their teeth to the Miami Dolphins, 20-19, also last Sunday, as per SB Nation.
Philadelphia not only lost a game they had led by 13 points in the opening quarter, but they also lost starting signal caller Sam Bradford with an injured left shoulder and concussion after getting a hard hit from Dolphins linebacker Chris McCain.
The Eagles were outscored by the Dolphins 3-7 in the payoff period as substitute quarterback Mark Sanchez took over from Bradford.
Going into the game without Bradford, Philadelphia's offense will be highly compromised as Winston and the Bucs are projected to come away with a close victory on the road this Sunday.
Prediction: Bucs win, 17-14.
