Half-Time Report: Tampa Bay Buccaneers storm to lead at Washington

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have run out to a 24-7 lead at half time away from home against the Washington Redskins.

The visitors were the first team on the board as Jameis Winston found Mike Evans with his first pass of the game and the wide receiver completed the 40-yard play for a touchdown.

The Buccaneers then halted the Washington offence and put some more points on the board, after some impressive deep throws from Winston, they settled for a Connor Barth field goal to go up 10-0.

The away side then started racking up the points in the second quarter as Winston found Donteea Dye for a seven-yard pass, his first NFL reception and his first ever professional touchdown.

It got much worse for the Redskins a few drives later as the Buccaneers defence forced Kirk Cousins to fumble the football and Howard Jones scooped it up and ran in untouched for the 43-yard return score.

However, Cousins made up for that mistake quickly after helping his team drive down the field. The quarterback kept the ball himself and ran in from seven yards out for their first score of the day as they head into the break down more than two touchdowns.
