Baker Mayfield mostly dinked and dunked his way to overcome a ferocious Houston Texans pass rush in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' thrilling Week 2 win. However, the gritty star quarterback didn't do it alone; he got a tremendous boost from a potent ground game, particularly veteran running back Rachaad White.

It appeared that White got shaken up midway through the fourth quarter upon recovering a Mayfield fumble. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough to stop him from scoring the game-winning touchdown in the closing stages of Tampa Bay's dramatic 20-19 defeat of the Texans.

Facing a five-point deficit with nine seconds remaining, the Buccaneers surprisingly turned to White, and he rewarded them in a massive way.
