Overview

• Baker Mayfield went 7-of-9 on the last series and converted a fourth-and-10 with a 15-yard scramble to set up Rachaad White’s 2-yard touchdown with six seconds left.
• Special teams swung momentum with Houston blocking a punt for a 53-yard field goal and a 53-yard punt return that preceded Nick Chubb’s 25-yard late touchdown.
• Tampa Bay balanced its attack with 169 rushing yards, led by Bucky Irving’s 71 and White’s 65, to support Mayfield’s 25-of-38, 215-yard, two-touchdown night.
• Houston’s offense sputtered after halftime, failing on a goal-to-go series at the 1-yard line as C.J. Stroud finished 13-of-24 for 207 yards and one touchdown.
• The Buccaneers improved to 2-0 and the Texans fell to 0-2, with Tampa Bay noting injuries to RT Luke Goedeke (foot) and DE Calijah Kancey (pectoral) ahead of Week 3 games against the Jets and Jaguars.
