The Houston Texans couldn't have asked for a better start to their game on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Already leading 10-0, the Texans blocked a 54-yard field goal off the foot of Matt Gay which gave them the ball back right around midfield.

The Buccaneers had gone for it on fourth down and appeared to have picked up the first down. The play was called back because of a holding penalty, which forced the Bucs into a long field goal. The Buccaneers defense did step up after the blocked kick and didn't allow the Texans to score.

Everything that could have gone wrong for the Buccaneers has gone that way, but the good news is it's still early and there is plenty of time to make a comeback. Even though the Buccaneers are eliminated from playoff contention, they would love nothing more than to spoil the party for the Texans.
