TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — It’s only preseason, but Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston is clearly making strides as an NFL quarterback.

The first overall pick in this year’s draft scored a 1- yard touchdown run after he was nearly flawless on the first drive of the game, and the Buccaneers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 25-11 on Monday night.

Winston was 3-of-3 passing for 27 yards, leading an 80- yard scoring drive that set the tone for a tough night for the Bengals (1-1), who yielded 52 yards rushing to Doug Martin along the way.

Amaro has a sprained shoulder and will not play against the Giants on Saturday night.
