Third-year QB Jameis Winston turned in an outstanding performance in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the New York Giants on Sunday, passing for 332 yards and three touchdowns. That marked his second consecutive 300-yard outing and the seventh of his career. Winston ranks fourth in team history in that category and is more than halfway to the top spot after just 34 career games played.

Victory speech
The Buccaneers have won three of the seven games in which Winston has topped the 300-yard mark. That already equals the most victories by a Tampa Bay quarterback in games in which he throws for at least 300 yards. Testaverde had a 3-9 record in such outings.
Winston was not intercepted in Sunday's victory. It's his first career game with at least 300 passing yards, three touchdown tosses and no interceptions, and it's only the fifth time any Buccaneer quarterback has recorded such a game. Winston is the first Tampa Bay quarterback to do so in a victory in 15 years.

The interesting thing about Winston's latest 300-yard performance is that it was not accompanied by any Buccaneer pass-catcher reaching 100 yards. Rather, Winston spread the ball around to seven different targets, led by Cameron Brate's 80 yards. Adam Humphries added 70 receiving yards, while Mike Evans had 67 and O.J. Howard had 63.
**
Surprisingly, that is the first time in the Buccaneers' 42-season history that four different players each topped 60 receiving yards in the same game**. That is actually a not terribly common feat; only one other team has done it this year, when New England's Rob Gronkowski (116), James White (85), Chris Hogan (78) and Phillip Dorsett (68) did so against New Orleans on Sept. 17.
Howard's 63 yards included a 58-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, his first score as a pro. He and Brate are just the third pair of tight ends in team history to each surpass 60 receiving yards in the same game. Two Buccaneer Tight Ends with 60+ Receiving Yards Each
**Tight End #1** | **Yards** | **Tight End #2** | **Yards** | **Opp.** | **Date** |
Jimmie Giles | 116 | Jerry Bell | 89 | MIA | 10/20/85 |
Alex Smith | 79 | Jerramy Stevens | 73 | SF | 12/23/07 |
Cameron Brate | 80 | O.J. Howard | 63 | NYG | 10/1/17 |
Through the first four weeks of the 2017 season, Brate and Howard are the only pair of tight end teammates to each score in the same game. That dual feat was last accomplished on the final weekend of the 2016 season, by three different tight end pairs: Cleveland's Gary Barnidge and Seth DeValve against Pittsburgh; San Diego's Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry against Kansas City; and Indianapolis' Dwayne Allen and Jack Doyle against Jacksonville.
The last time any pair of NFL tight end teammates each surpassed 60 receiving yards and scored a touchdown in the same game was three seasons ago, when Rob Gronkowski and Tim Wright pulled off the trick against Chicago on October 26, 2014.
Brate has now scored twice this season; he is tied for second among NFL tight ends in touchdown catches in 2017. He tied San Diego's Henry for that lead in 2016, with eight scoring grabs. Since the start of last season, Brate has the most touchdown receptions of any tight end in the NFL. Most Touchdown Receptions, Tight End, 2016-17

Howard scored when he slipped into the clear down the left sideline and caught Winston's pass with no defenders in sight, rumbling the final 30 yards for the score. It's the third-longest touchdown by a tight end so far this season and the longest by a Buccaneer tight end in 15 years. Longest Touchdown Catches, Tight End, Buccaneers History

Evans caught Winston's other touchdown pass and now has two touchdowns on the season, as well. Evans continues his inexorable climb up the Buccaneers' all-time receiving touchdown list, pulling out of a tie with Joey Galloway on Sunday. He needs only three more touchdowns to pass Kevin House for second place on that chart, and first place among wideouts. Most Receiving Touchdowns, Buccaneers History
