Despite missing Liam Coen, who had left to become the Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach, the Buccaneers were victorious the previous week, defeating the Atlanta Falcons after Younghoe Koo missed a field goal attempt in the waning seconds.
Meanwhile, the Texans had experienced the consequences of purging star left tackle Laremy Tunsil, losing at the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener, and were looking to reassert their dominance in the AFC South after seeing the Indianapolis Colts go 2-0 within a week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Houston Texans summary
The Texans began the game explosively, as Nico Collins caught a touchdown on the opening drive. Ryan Miller responded in kind with a touchdown, then Kaimi Fairbairn scored a field goal.
The scoring continued early in the second quarter, as Emeka Egbula put the visitors back ahead with a touchdown catch. The scoring streak finally ended when the Buccaneers forced a punt, but sacks stalled the ensuing drive, leading to a punt of their own. Two more punts happened to end the game.
