Houston running back Nick Chubb got things going when he took a screen pass 27 yards to Tampa’s 29 yard line. On the very next play, wide receiver Nico Collins made a phenomenal toe-tapping touchdown catch to put the Texans on top 7-0 with less than five minutes taken off the clock. That was the first touchdown of Houston’s season after they kicked three field goals against the Los Angeles Rams. With that single reception, Collins surpassed his receiving yardage output from last Sunday (25 yards).
The Buccaneers responded with a nine-play, 65-yard touchdown drive of their own. It was third-year wideout Ryan Miller who made a 20-yard TD reception to tie things up at 7 points apiece. That was his first touchdown since Week 16 of last season.

Texans rookie running back Woody Marks also made an impact on this game. He finished with 51 scrimmage yards, including a 37-yard catch-and-run that resulted in a 35-yard field goal by Ka’imi Fairbairn, which allowed Houston to retake the lead, 10-7. Fairbairn has made 22 consecutive field goals from 30 to 39 yards out since the start of the 2022-23 season.
