Seeing Jameis Winston smiling and laughing and closing out the game for the Saints really made Joe ill.
It’s always bad news when your opponent’s third-string quarterback is doing that kind of thing.
Jameis even completed a pass. What a horrible exclamation point on one of the ugliest nights in team history.
