HOUSTON — This is the one that got away. Call it snatching a loss from the jaws of victory.
When you do the autopsy on Tampa Bay's loss Sunday in Houston, you will determine that the Texans won the game.
But, in reality, it was the Bucs who lost it.
Damaging penalties. Dropped passes. Missed kicks. More dropped passes. Bad tackling.
Did we mention dropped passes?
And missed kicks?
In a matchup of two teams that really aren't that good, one team was worse than the other.
That worse team? The Bucs.
