The 1-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to NRG stadium this Sunday for an early game. The Bucs are coming off a road win over the New Orleans Saints, 26-19. No doubt, rookie QB Jameis Winston earned brownie pts with the Buc faithful by upending the mighty Saints in his first try. Winston was 14/21, 207 yards, 9.9 avg, 1 TD, 0 INT, 114.6 rating. The Bucs lost their home opener to the Titans 42-14.
The 0-2 Texans will more than likely go (again) with Ryan Mallett at QB as they sort through their banged up and revolving OL personnel to find a starting 5. The Texans have lost both of their games by 7 pts most recently falling to the Carolina Panthers 24-17 on the road last week.
