In one of the most unexpected results of the entire NFL season so far, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers put up 55 points in a 55-40 road victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4.
You read that correctly. 55 points.
Jameis Winston was remarkable (28-for-41, 385 yards, four touchdowns, one interception).
Wideout Chris Godwin turned in an insane performance, catching 12 balls for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the victory.

Meanwhile, Jared Goff (45-for-68, 517 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions) made some costly decisions.
It’s worth noting that Robert Woods (13 catches for 164 yards) and Cooper Kupp (nine catches for 121 yards) benefitted from the pass-heavy game script while the Rams only called 11 run plays. Todd Gurley had five carries for 16 yards, but had two touchdowns.
The Rams now have a short week to prepare for the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football while the Buccaneers travel to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 5.
