"With 1:32 left in the game, Mayfield was flushed from the pocket and could not connect with rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka on third-and-10. So with the game on the line on fourth down, he scrambled to keep pick up the first down. Then after five straight completions -- including running back Bucky Irving taking a pair of short passes 22 and 18 yards. respectively -- running back Rachaad White took a 2-yard run up the middle for the game-winning score."
"The Texans only needed their defense to come up with a stop after taking a 19-14 lead with 2:10 left in the game after Nick Chubb punched in a 25-yard run, but Mayfield was able to get his first prime-time win in the regular season with the Buccaneers. Prior to Monday, Mayfield had gone 0-6 during the regular season with the Bucs in prime time."
"Surprising trend: For the second straight week, the Bucs' defense surrendered an explosive touchdown on the opening drive. Last week it was a 50-yard touchdown from running back Bijan Robinson with inside linebacker SirVocea Dennis in coverage. This week, it was a 29-yard touchdown from wide receiver Nico Collins with Zyon McCollum in coverage -- each time putting the Bucs in a 7-0 hole before they even played a down of offense."
Baker Mayfield engineered a late touchdown drive to lift Tampa Bay to a 20-19 victory over Houston, scrambling on fourth down and completing five straight passes before Rachaad White's 2-yard game-winning run. The Texans had taken a 19-14 lead after Nick Chubb's 25-yard touchdown with 2:10 remaining. The Buccaneers surrendered explosive opening-drive touchdowns for the second consecutive week, allowing a 29-yard score to Nico Collins after giving up a 50-yard touchdown the previous week. Mayfield lost a third-and-3 fumble recovered by Rachaad White; Jakob Johnson blocked a punt with Justin Watson recovering to set up a 53-yard Texans field goal.
