The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into Week 16’s matchup against the Houston Texans as home underdogs. But, the Texans, who are still looking to clinch a playoff spot, shouldn’t underestimate this Bucs team.
Tampa Bay is riding a four-game winning-streak into Saturday’s game on NFL Network, and they’d love nothing more than to upset the Texans on a national stage.
Quarterback Jameis Winston has had back-to-back games of 450-plus yards, and is now on pace to throw the fourth-most yards in a season in NFL history (5,226). But, with wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out for the remainder of the season, he’ll have to rely on some reserves to help him get there.
With that, here is the latest injury report for both teams ahead of Saturday.
