Hey, that road win over the Kansas City Chiefs was pretty impressive, wasn’t it?

Yes, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be ascending just at the right time. Now at 5-5, after upsetting the Chiefs 19-17, the Bucs find themselves just one game behind the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons.

The division is up for grabs right now, and Tampa Bay hopes the maturation process of quarterback Jameis Winston continues at this level.

Winston was 24-of-39 for 331 yards and a touchdown, and the chemistry he’s developing with wide receiver Mike Evans has been something to watch.

Keep an eye on this team down the stretch.
