Jameis Winston #2 of the New Orleans Saints talks with head coach Sean Payton. If it wasn’t for the 2021 Bears (272 yards) being so bad, the Saints (341 yards) would have the fewest net passing yards through three games in the NFL in the last 14 seasons. This is a quarterback who threw for over 450 yards in consecutive games in December 2019, the first in NFL history to do so.
He has not cracked 150 yards in any of them. Winston has passed for 387 yards in three full games this season.
Well, through three games that couldn’t be any further from reality. Payton was still going to sprinkle in plays for Taysom Hill and feature Alvin Kamara on the ground, but this team was going to throw like a normal passing offense. After all, Winston averaged a prolific 274.1 passing yards per game with Tampa Bay. Sean Payton: He Still Likes Passing, Right?Ĭonventional wisdom thought that Sean Payton’s Saints would continue to be a pass-happy team after replacing Brees with Jameis Winston. 📺: & Giants App /2IbxnJSUWv- New York Giants September 26, 2021
