Winston now has two career games with at least four touchdown passes in his first 17, tied for the second-most in team history with Steve DeBerg and Doug Williams behind only Brad Johnson (four).

So what’s so tough about coaching in the NFL?
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, who re-injured his left ankle during Sunday’s 31-24 loss to Tampa Bay, said he’s not concerned about it being a lingering issue.
A Bills official said the two players could have waited for a second team bus leaving from the hotel. This is a divisional game on the road to open the season. “I just left it alone”.
The week after the Louisiana Monday nighter, the Falcons have a short week to prepare for their next home game, a visit from the NFC champion and three-time defending NFC South champion Carolina Panthers. He fell out of favor over his last two seasons in Atlanta, going 4-12 in 2013 and 6-10 in 2014.
That made for a positive first game as a head coach for Dirk Koetter, and some redemption for Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith, the former Falcons head coach.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (3) throws the ball as tackle Demar Dotson (69) blocks Atlanta Falcons linebacker Vic Beasley (44) in the first quarter at the Georgia Dome. There’s no doubt about it.
“I think it’s just being more comfortable in the offense”, Winston said, according to Fox Sports. The defense was able to force a turnover early as Desmond Trufant came down with an interception. “Jameis getting the ball into play-makers’ hands – you saw what [Charles] “Chuck” [Sims] can do when we get him the ball. So I do see some similarities, definitely”.
Following the game Ryan addressed the red zone performance, “We’re disappointed with how it went today but we’ve got to get back to work and find a way to be better next week”, Ryan said.
As any Tennessee Vols fan can happily tell you this morning, you can make too much of the opening game of a long football season.
“I sleep better at night, that’s the first thing”.
Jones said he was not worrying about the injury lingering on into the season.

“Not only the players, but the coaches and our support staff”. “Once I heard from them, I didn’t even try to argue anything. It’s just like any other week”, Ryan said. I don’t know how he did it. Numerous play calls that made their ground attack so effective were inside rushes: According to NFL Game Stats and Information, they gained 1,062 yards when running behind the left guard, center or right guard; their 6.26 yards per carry when rushing behind the LG was tops in the NFL. “When you’re trying to process information and apply it to the field and execute it, that’s always good”.
