The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are winners of two in a row and viable playoff contenders at 5-5.

Their latest win was a triumph over the previously 7-2 Kansas City Chiefs. After the victory, quarterback Jameis Winston revealed the change in the team's mindset that has led to the recent success.

"The message was, think about when we played football for fun," Winston said to sideline reporter Laura Okmin after the game, Dan Graf of FOX Sports writes. "Not as a professional. ... Football got us here. We didn't come here as professionals.

"We came here as football players. We were blessed by the man above, and we just overcame a lot. So we've gotta keep fighting and we've gotta get better every single day."
