00:00Monday night football. Last night, game number one down in Houston, a pivotal game. Why? Because
00:04the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking to go 2-0, and also the Houston Texans looking to avoid 0-2.
00:10We saw the first quarter last night, Joe, 10-7. By the half, it was 14-10. That's 24 points,
00:15well on its way to covering an over, but a scoreless third period, followed by the fourth
00:19quarter, 9-6, which Houston actually outplayed Tampa Bay, but it wasn't good enough. Why?
00:26Baker Mayfield, an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to clinch it, and one of the biggest
00:32moments there was a fourth down where he scrambled for a first down. Baker Mayfield showing all the
00:37metal in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers one-point victory over the Texans. Well, you know, listen, I can
00:43make the argument, Donnie, that Tampa Bay just allowed Houston to hang around this game, and
00:50they really had no business doing it. I mean, listen, we told you both offensive lines have
00:56some issues. You know, when worse was gone for the Bucs in the preseason, they got some protection
01:03issues here for Baker Mayfield. They did a very good job. You know why? Because they were able to
01:09run the ball, and that was evident from the get-go that they were going to be able to get some push.
01:17They were going to be able to run the ball. It didn't have to be all Baker Mayfield. When he needed
01:21the big pass, they were able to get it. That winning drive, he completed seven passes on that
01:28drive, and they eventually ran it in. For Houston, they can't run the ball. You take away that 25-yard
01:34touchdown run by Chubb there in the final two minutes that gave him the lead. Donnie, they had
01:40next to no—they couldn't run the ball at all against this Tampa defense. They couldn't run it last week
01:46against the Rams. If they can't run and you're expecting C.J. Stroud to have to throw the ball
01:5340 times a game, you're not winning many games, Houston. I hate to break it to you.
