Bucs center addresses sideline scuffle with Jameis Winston
Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen addressed his sideline scuffle with Jameis Winston following the team’s 8-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Jensen and Winston got into a heated sideline exchange during the contest. Jensen could be seen pointing at Winston, whose eyes grew large as he said “one time” to Jensen in response.

Jensen downplayed the matter after the game, saying the two had cleared the air and the issue was a matter of competitive energy coming out.

The Bucs were up 14-3 in the game and ended up losing 28-14, so they had plenty of reasons to be frustrated. Winston was just 18/38 for 213 yards, 2 touchdowns and an interception. He rushed 5 times for 47 yards.
