’Noles in the NFL: Week 15

Jameis Winston

Playing with a broken thumb didn’t stop Winston from putting up ridiculous numbers for a second straight week, finishing 28/42 for 458 yards, 4 touchdowns, and an interception.

Stringing together some great performances, Winston has all but guaranteed he will be back in Tampa next year. He now leads the league in passing by a sizable margin and broke a couple records in the process:

Here’s a look at every touchdown pass Winston threw against the Lions:

Nigel Bradham

Dustin Hopkins

Hopkins was perfect on the day going 2/2 on field goals, making good from 43-yards and 53-yards. He also was 3/3 on extra points. Hopkins’ 53-yarder saw him edge closer to a franchise record:
