When the fourth-quarter playclock hit 1:00 in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2025 season-opener in Atlanta, they were losing by three points. Eight days later, when the playclock again hit 1:00 in a Monday Night Football game at Houston, the Buccaneers were trailing by five points. Despite that, Tampa Bay is one of 10 teams in the NFL that remain undefeated heading into Week Three.

Baker Mayfield's 25-yard touchdown pass to Emeka Egbuka in Atlanta came with 59 seconds left and produced a 23-20 victory. Rachaad White's two-yard touchdown run in Houston occurred with just six seconds left to allow the Bucs to escape with a 20-19 victory. Tampa Bay is the first team since the 1979 Cleveland Browns to start a season 2-0 despite trailing with one minute to go in the fourth quarter in both games.
