looked like a bad clipping call on texas lineman 79, downfield, reversed a first down end around so we had to punt. that was a bomb he coulda caught.

[Nconroe]

TB rookie QB Josh Johnson in now. other than first 56 yard punt, Matt Turk not really punting to well tonight.

Tampa Bay driving. At the Texan 20. 2 mins. left.
