Falling behind 10-0 is not an ideal way to start a game, but that is how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers handicapped today’s 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans after a pick-six on the first throw of the game by Jameis Winston. He then went on to throw another interception just two plays later that led to a Houston field goal.
This young Buccaneers’ defense did the best they could given the circumstances they were placed in. In fact, they surrendered only 13 points the remainder of the game after seven were scored on the offense, then the Texans took over already in field goal range on the second pick.
