Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Minnesota Vikings: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis

It's time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to unwrap their new toy.

On Saturday night in the Twin Cities, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft will see his first game action, when quarterback Jameis Winston leads the Bucs against Teddy Bridgewater and the Minnesota Vikings.

Winston told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times he can't wait to take the field for the first time: "My personal goal is to lead the team the right way, to lead us to a victory. There's only so much I can do because I'm probably not going to be playing the whole game. I just want to do the right thing."

Winston may be the headliner of Saturday night's preseason tilt, but whether it's scoring updates, analysis of his debut or smart-mouthed comments about how bad exhibition football is, Bleacher Report has you covered.

After a shaky start Winston rebounded a bit to lead the Buccaneers to a field goal, but the first quarter of Saturday evening's duel of young quarterbacks belonged to Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings.

Winston's up-and-down play (to put it mildly) continued in quarter No. 2, but a rushing score just before halftime gave the Buccaneers something to build on.

The second half looked a lot like the second half of a preseason game, and while the Vikings won the game the big story in the Twin Cities is the loss of starting right tackle Phil Loadholt to a torn Achilles.

FINAL

Vikings 26, Buccaneers 16
