Jameis Winston rushes for TD in solid preseason performance

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston rushed for his second touchdown of the preseason during the opening drive of Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The score came after a solid opening drive in which Winston completed all three of his passes for 27 yards.

From there Winston completed 5-of-10 passes for 63 yards before exiting the game in the second quarter. Winston appeared to be limping after taking a hit on a 1st-and-15 sack in the second quarter, but no injury is being reported by the team at this time.

Tampa Bay defeated Cincinnati 25-11, and Winston credited offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter for the team's improvement.

"Coach Koetter is so great with us. We worked so hard to build on the positives from last week's game and we came out here and showed it," Winston said, according to Scott Smith of the team's official website.

The Bucs offense was clicking early and running back Doug Martin was able to get the team in scoring range with a beautiful 30-yard run. He rushed four times for 54 yards on the opening drive, and Winston took care of the rest.

"We have so many great weapons and so many great players. You have to be able to be versatile and let everybody touch the rock," Winston said.
