There was a lot hanging on the how the Buccaneers starters would do in the first half of their 23-16 victory over the Houston Texans Saturday night. What if the starters didn’t play well? What if the offense couldn’t get on track? What if Todd Bowles forgot how to coach? What if Bruce Arians’ master plan for handling the three preseason games? What if, what if, what if?
What we all need right now is a collective sigh of relief.
Although it did take their second offensive possession, a fan would have to admit that the Tampa offense looked mightier than ever.
