Jameis Winston looked as smooth as ever on Sunday as he tossed 5 touchdowns in the 38-3 win for the New Orleans Saints over the Green Bay Packers.

Following the win, Winston spoke about the importance of the victory for the Saints and the city of New Orleans, per ESPN.

“That was for the city,” Winston said after the game. “So, shoutout to the city of New Orleans. We did that for them. We knew how much it would mean to get a great victory for that region. They've been through so much [with damage and power outages from the hurricane]. And for us to be able to celebrate this victory with them, it's just hats off to them for their resilience, because they motivated us, they inspired us to come out there and ball.”

Winston was real good all day for the Saints, who really didn't have to open up the playbook too much in their thrashing of the Packers.

New Orleans dominated on both sides of the ball and their defense made life miserable for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

It was a shocking win if only in terms of how much the Saints ended up winning by. Considering that the game was moved away from New Orleans and that they were without a lot of key pieces including star wide receiver Michael Thomas, nobody would've predicted a 35-point victory for Sean Payton's team.

Through one week, Winston proved he was the right choice to take over for Drew Brees as he dazzled.
