Houston Texans reverse half-time deficit to beat Tampa Bay Buccanneers

The Houston Texans reversed a half-time deficit to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19-9 at the NRG Stadium this evening.

Bill O'Brien's Texans side broke the deadlock with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter, as DeAndre Hopkins received the ball from Ryan Mallett for a five-yard touchdown.

The visitors came into the game in the second quarter, however, with Kyle Brindza first kicking a 58-yard field goal.

Jameis Winston then found Charles Sims, who ran into the endzone for a touchdown before Brindza was unable to convert the extra point.

The third quarter saw Randy Bullock kick over a field goal to turn things around and put Houston into the lead.

Andre Blue then furthered the home side's lead with the second and final touchdown of the day, before Bullock fired over a simple 19-yard field goal to finish things off at 19-9.
