Buccaneers Stun Texans Late, Chargers Clamp Raiders — Are Bucs and Chargers for Real?


Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the two NFL games from last night.
Last night in the NFL, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pulled off a dramatic 20-19 win over the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. The game was decided in the final seconds, as Rachaad White punched in a 2-yard touchdown run with just six seconds remaining, capping off an 80-yard game-winning drive led by Baker Mayfield. Mayfield had a strong outing, throwing for 215 yards and two touchdowns, and extending the drive with a crucial 4th-and-10 scramble. The Texans' struggles in the red zone, penalties and late-game defensive lapses allowed the Bucs to steal the victory. How good is Baker Mayfield? Are the Bucs a problem in the NFC?
In the other Monday night matchup, the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 20-9. The Chargers’ defense played a dominant role, picking off Raiders QB Geno Smith three times and limiting him to just 180 passing yards. While L.A.'s offense wasn’t explosive, they were still able to control the game enough to secure a comfortable victory. How good are the Chargers? Why is Reese giving up on the Raiders?
