Good morning from the Tampa Bay 28 News team.
Today is Tuesday, and the Bucs are riding high after a nail-biting win over the Texans last night. Two years ago, Tampa Bay fell to Houston on a last-second touchdown. But this time, Baker Mayfield and the Bucs were the ones to clutch a win with six seconds left, rallying past the Texans 20-19. Although it's still early, last night gave fans an early-season reason to celebrate and hope for more prime-time thrillers ahead.
