WATCH: Jameis Winston inexplicably loses ball against Chiefs

Jameis Winston had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolling Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. He drove the Bucs into the red zone on an 11-play drive in which he completed 3-of-4 passes for 42 yards.

Then the wheels came off.

Winston dropped back to pass the ball when the ball just popped out of his hand.

The officials took a second look at this play and determined it was a fumble, recovered by Kansas City. This took a scoring opportunity away from Tampa Bay, which cannot afford any of these types of plays if it has any hope of hanging around as a potential contender in the AFC South.

The Chiefs, thankfully for Winston’s sake, ended up going three-and-out on their next possession and gave the ball right back, leading 3-0.
