Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Houston Texans Analysis
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have certainly found a rough patch in their 2023 season. After three wins in their first four games, the Buccaneers have dropped three straight games. Tampa Bay has scored just 37 points during those three losses. On the season, Tampa is scoring 17.3 points per game, and allowing 18.3.
Baker Mayfield was not really sharp in the recent loss to the Buffalo Bills. The starting quarterback has completed 158 of 246 passes on the season for 1,600 yards and 10 touchdowns, with four interceptions, but it seems the offense stalls more often than not over the recent losing streak. Mike Evans leads the receiving attack, with 507 yards on the season.
The running attack is anchored by Rachaad White, with 305 yards but just a single touchdown on the season. The Buccaneers have this game at Houston, which is the first of three out of four on the road. The Buccaneers will host Tennessee next week, and then play at San Francisco and Indianapolis.
Texans’ Tough Loss
The Houston Texans took a tough loss on Sunday to Carolina. The offense just could not get the ball in the end zone in the 15-13 loss. The loss was their second in the last three weeks. Rookie quarterback CJ Stroud leads the offensive attack with 1,800 passing yards and 9 touchdowns. Nico Collins has put together a nice 2023 season with 33 receptions, 577 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The Texans, as a team, are scoring 21.1 points per game, and allowing just over 17 per game. The Texans are picking up just shy of 92 yards per game on the ground, and nearly 240 passing yards.
Houston will play at Cincinnati next week, before a trio of home games against Arizona, Jacksonville, and Denver.
