    Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston ties NFL rookie record with 5 TD passes

    PHILADELPHIA -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston tied the NFL record for passing touchdowns in a single game by a rookie with five in a 45-17 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

    Winston connected with five different receivers on scoring plays during his record-setting afternoon. The other rookie quarterbacks to accomplish the feat were the Lions' Matthew Stafford (2009) and the Bears' Ray Buivid (1937).

    Winston tied the record with TD No. 5 -- a 5-yard strike to Cameron Brate -- with 5:13 remaining in the third quarter. He also tied Steve DeBerg, Brad Johnson and Josh Freeman for the Bucs' record for touchdown passes in a game.

    Winston threw a career-high four touchdown passes in the first half. After hitting Mike Evans from 4 yards out for a first-quarter touchdown, Winston threw scoring passes of 13 yards to Vincent Jackson, 4 yards to Russell Shepard and 14 yards to Charles Sims in the second quarter.

    The Winston-to-Sims connection capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive.

    Winston, who became the first rookie quarterback in Bucs franchise history to toss four TD passes, finished the half 13-of-18 for 147 yards and a 135.9 passer rating.

    He finished the game 19-of-29 for 246 yards.
