The Bucs earned their first win of the season and the first for Bruce Arians as head coach of the team with a
nationally televised Thursday night win in Charlotte. It was a series of big defensive plays no bigger than Vernon
Hargreaves’ 4th down stop in the final two minutes that led the victory although the offense played turnover-free
football and Jameis Winston threw a scoring pass to Chris Godwin.
