For most of the preseason, there was too much drama between the Buccaneers and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.

Sunday, he showed why they’re willing to put up with some of it.

The third-year tight end just made an incredible diving touchdown, giving the Bucs a 24-13 lead over the Falcons.

Seferian-Jenkins was thrown out of practice during the offseason, and admitted his emotions sometimes boil over after a back-and-forth with coach Dirk Koetter during the final preseason game.

The Bucs have shown signs of progress as an offense, with Jameis Winston looking sharp as they bid for an early lead in the NFC South.
