 Authentic Jameis Winston Jersey , the team that scored first never fell behind on their way to victory.That streak remains alive after Sunday’s game in Tampa. Dustin Hopkins opened the scoring with a field goal, Josh Doctson scored the game’s only touchdown early in the fourth quarter and the defense forced four turnovers in a 16-3 win over the Buccaneers.Two of those turnovers came after Doctson’s score opened the lead to 10 points. Ryan Fitzpatrick was intercepted by Greg Stroman on the first play of the ensuing possession and Jacquizz Rodgers lost a fumble after Dustin Hopkins’ third field goal of the afternoon. Rodgers had the ball punched out by Ryan Anderson around the 18-yard line and the ball rocketed into the end zone where safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix fell on it for a touchback.In addition to Hopkins’ made field goals, punter Tress Way also helped out. He pinned the Bucs inside the 20 on three of his punts, which left Tampa’s offense with a lot of work to do if they were going to score points. With 501 yards, they did a fair amount of that work but they couldn’t finish when it counted and they’re now 3-6 on the season.Fitzpatrick’s first interception of the day ended the first drive of the day for the Bucs and it also came in the red zone. Cornerback Josh Norman picked Fitzpatrick off at the goal-line in the first of a series of miscues for Tampa on the afternoon. In addition to the other turnovers, kicker Chandler Catanzaro missed a pair of field goals and defensive tackle Beau Allen was flagged for roughing Alex Smith on the first play of Washington’s touchdown drive.Any last hopes of a comeback ended when Fitzpatrick lost a fumble on a sack by Ryan Kerrigan one play after Mike Evans dropped a pass in the end zone with just under four minutes to play. The sack was the second of the day by the defense and Washington allowed two, which is a pretty good showing given they were down three starting offensive linemen.Things weren’t overly successful on offense for Washington otherwise. Their touchdown drive accounted for more than 20 percent of the yards that they gained all day Youth Demar Dotson Jersey , but they never turned the ball over and the win guarantees Washington another week in first place. They’ll host another first place team next week when the Texans bring their six-game winning streak to town. The Buccaneers have given up a safety, thrown an interception while driving for a score, lost a fumble deep in their own end and missed an extra point. Everything else has gone Tampa Bay’s way.The Bucs lead 16-2 at halftime.The move to Nick Chubb as the feature running back has done nothing for the Browns offense yet. Chubb, who averaged 10.8 yards on his 16 carries in the first six games, has eight carries for 24 yards.Baker Mayfield has had struggles of his own, completing 10 of 16 passes for 62 yards. He has taken two sacks, including one by former Browns defensive end Carl Nassib http://www.buccaneersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-bryan-anger-jersey , as the move to Mark Duffner as defensive coordinator is working for the Bucs so far.The Browns had a chance to score points at the end of the first half after Cameron Brate fumbled at his own 27, and Christian Kirksey returned it 8 yards. But Cleveland went for it on fourth-and-two at the Tampa Bay 11. Mayfield scrambled and had the first down before Lavonte David punched the ball out from behind. The ball bounced out of bounds at the 10, giving Tampa Bay possession with 18 seconds in the half.Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander was injured on the play, leaving for the locker room under his own power before Jameis Winston‘s kneel down. Alexander has seven tackles and a pass breakup.Winston has completed 15 of 22 passes for 184 yards and an interception. He also has run for a 14-yard score. Mike Evans has three catches for 60 yards, and DeSean Jackson has a 14-yard touchdown run.UPDATE 3 P.M. ET: Alexander was ruled out for the second half with a knee injury.
