Welcome to Week 9 Classes!
If you’re wondering what the wildest game of the week was, it would definitely be the Buccaneers-Texans game. In one of the craziest results of the season, Houston beat Tampa Bay 39-37 thanks to a record-breaking performance from CJ Stroud, who threw a TD pass with just six seconds left to secure the win.
- The Texans’ rookie QB set the record for most passing yards by a rookie with 470. His total surpassed the old record of 433, which had been held by Andrew Luck.
- Stroud also became just the third QB in NFL history, joining YA Tittle and Ben Roethlisberger, to throw for at least 470 yards and five touchdowns without interceptions.
As if that wasn’t impressive enough, the Texans also used a RUNNING BACK as their kicker in the second half. After an injury to Ka’imi Fairbairn, the Texans turned to Dare Ogunbowale, who made a crucial 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
With the brand, Ogunbowale became:
- The first non-kicker or punter with a field goal since 2004, when Wes Welker did it.
- The first running back with a field goal since Tony Galbreath in 1979.
The Texans have suddenly become one of the most exciting teams in the NFL. With that in mind, let’s get to the notes. We’ll start with the game in Germany and then move on to the Texans.
