As if the 2017 season needed another distraction.
Mid-morning prior to the Bucs hosting the Lions at Raymond James Stadium, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com appeared on his network’s pregame show and said Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston and head coach Dirk Koetter had issues, including Winston not feeling Koetter supported him enough during his time with a shoulder injury earlier in the season. Rapoport also reported Winston claimed the the Bucs offense under Koetter was too predictable.
Following the loss, Winston made his way to the podium and was as animated as he has been in some time in defense of his head coach.
