This was just how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drew it up.

While avoiding the Chicago Bears pass rush on a 3rd-and-10 in the second half Sunday, quarterback Jameis Winson ran back 23 yards into his own end zone while scooting around defenders.

Somehow, he escaped and found wide receiver Mike Evans for a 39-yard gain.

On the next play, things werenโ€™t so difficult. Winston found a wide-open Freddie Martino for a 43-yard score, giving Tampa Bay a 24-10 lead.
