Jameis Winston won his first NFL game.

Now what?

After a nightmare start at home, Winston looked comfortable on the road, scoring once with his feet and another with his arm in a 26-19 win over the Saints. More importantly, Winston did not throw an interception. He lost end Austin Seferian-Jenkins to an injury this week, but will get a boost from the return of big target Mike Evans.

For the Texans, this is pretty close to a must-win game. They haven’t been terrible in their 0-2 start, but that’s what is most frustrating for Texans fans. Somewhere in the penalties and poor decision-making, there are talented football players. Whether we get the see them before Bill O’Brien gets fired or not remains to be seen.
