Just when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were on the verge of defeat, they found a way yet again to steal the victory. Rachaad White scored on a two-yard touchdown with six seconds left to give the Buccaneers the win, 20-19, over the Houston Texans on Monday.
The Buccaneers silenced NRG Stadium after fans celebrated what appeared to be the go-ahead touchdown by Nick Chubb in the previous possession, which gave the Texans the lead, 19-14.
