Playing in the first game of an NFL tripleheader on a Saturday, the Houston Texans will be facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium with just two regular season games left this season.
The Texans enter this game with an overall record of 9-5 overall, and have a one-game lead over the AFC South second place Tennessee Titans. The Buccaneers are 7-7 overall, winning their past four games, leaving them in second place in the NFC South, with the New Orleans Saints champions of that division at 11-3 overall.
Even being in second place in the NFC South the Buccaneers are playing for pride from here on out because the have been eliminated from playoff contention, but don’t expect this game to be a breeze for the Texans due to that fact.
