Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston let a veteran safety get the best of him - twice - on Saturday and didn't hide his disappointment about a performance that might have cost the Buccaneers a chance at their first playoff berth since 2007.
"I want to make the playoffs. My goal is to win the Super Bowl and try to get away from that standard of just being OK," said Winston, who was intercepted twice by Jairus Byrd. "We want to be great, and I didn't play great tonight."
Mark Ingram rushed for two touchdowns and a game-sealing first down in the final minutes as the Saints pushed Tampa Bay closer to elimination from postseason contention with a 31-24 win.
