Rachaad White scored a touchdown with six seconds remaining to earn the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a dramatic win against the Houston Texans.
The 26-year-old running back’s two-yard run into the endzone was the climax of an 11-play, 80-yard drive led by quarterback Baker Mayfield to claim a 20-19 win.
Mayfield, 30, completed 25 of 38 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions as the Bucs made a fifth consecutive 2-0 start to an NFL campaign.
“In these two-minute, close games, we were not on the right side of things for the past couple years,” said Mayfield.
“It’s good to see that we haven’t even played close to our best ball in all three phases and we’re still finding ways to win on the road.”
It was the Texans’ second defeat of the season after their opening-week loss against the Los Angeles Rams.
In Monday’s other game, Justin Herbert threw for 242 yards and two touchdown passes as the Los Angeles Chargers won 20-9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The 27-year-old threw touchdown passes of 60 yards to Quentin Johnston and 10 yards to Keenan Allen as the Chargers continued their winning start to the season.
