The Tampa Bay Buccaneers limp into the bye week at 2-4 after dropping their second straight game to a division rival yesterday, a 37-26 loss to the Carolina Panthers in London.

The game, which never really seemed close, saw Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston throw a career-high five interceptions, fumble the ball twice (losing one) and get sacked seven times.

Many fans will wonder if Winston’s performance sealed his fate with the Bucs since he is in the fifth and final year of his rookie contract. The team likely won’t make a decision until the end of the year, meaning Winston has time to try to regroup and put together a few solid performances.

One way to do that is to keep targeting wide receiver Chris Godwin, who has been having a breakout year. And, this stat shows just how effective the Winston-Godwin connection has been.

Take a look.

When targeting Chris Godwin this year, Jameis Winston has a near-perfect passer rating of 148.6. When targeting Mike Evans… 2019: 74.7

2018: 94.2

2017: 77.0

2016: 86.4

2015: 71.5 — Scott Barrett (@ScottBarrettDFB) October 14, 2019

So far this season, Godwin has 43 receptions for 662 yards and six touchdowns. In yesterday’s loss to the Panthers he had 10 receptions for 151 yards.

Winston would be wise to keep targeting the third-year receiver.
