At halftime of “Monday Night Football,” the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers lead the Houston Texans by a score of 14-10.
The Texans opened the game with a quick, efficient drive that ended with a touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins, which was the team’s first touchdown of the year. Tampa answered right back with a touchdown drive of its own, with Baker Mayfield finding Ryan Miller over the top of the defense for a score.
Houston moved the ball well on its next drive, but ultimately stalled out in the red zone and had to settle for a field goal. The Bucs came right back with yet another touchdown drive, culminated by Emeka Egbuka finding the end zone on a screen pass from 15 yards out to give Tampa a lead for the first time.
Neither team could get much going after those four game-opening scoring drives, as they traded punts for the remainder of the half. Houston briefly looked like it had a chance to re-take the lead, but a sack knocked the Texans off course. In the end, the score remained 14-10 Tampa going into the break.
Will the Bucs improve to 2-0, or will the Texans come back to get to 1-1? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, keep it locked to our live blog throughout the rest of the evening as we update you with stats, scores and highlights.
