Live scores, highlights and updates from the Texans vs. Buccaneers football game
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will head out on the road to face off against the Houston Texans at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at NRG Stadium. The Buccaneers are limping into the matchup on a three-game losing streak.
Last Thursday, the Buccaneers came up short against the Bills and fell 24-18.
Despite the defeat, the Buccaneers got a solid performance out of Baker Mayfield, who threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Houston went for two against Carolina on Sunday, and the resulting failed attempt cost them the matchup. The Texans fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 15-13. Houston didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
Nobody from Houston had a standout game, but they got scores from Andrew Beck and C.J. Stroud.
The team lost despite holding the Panthers to a paltry 224 yards. A big part of that defensive dominance came down to the Texans' ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid him out six times before it was all said and done. The heavy lifting was done by Maliek Collins and Jonathan Greenard who racked up 4.5 sacks between them.
Tampa Bay has traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-4 record this season. As for Houston, they now have a losing record at 3-4.
Not only did the pair lose their last games, but neither team managed to cover the spread. Looking ahead, the Texans are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by two points. The Buccaneers might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a three game streak of covering the spread when playing on the road.
