I'm going to sound like a broken record with this because I've said it before, but against better teams — and we saw this today, just as we did against New Orleans — the Bucs' multiple turnovers are just too much to overcome. Fans should be encouraged by the growth of this defense though.

Very little has gone right for the Bucs against the Texans, but miraculously, it's a tied game at the half (17-17) thanks to Jamel Dean's interception and two touchdowns within the two-minute warning. Jameis Winston's struggled big time without Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, throwing three INTs and the Texans have scored 17 points off of turnovers.

Jameis Winston has now gone three-straight games with an opening drive interception. He now has six opening-drive INTs this season -- three times as many as any other QB. The team can't exactly pinpoint why this continues to be an issue on opening drives but it's been discussed quite a bit.

The opening drive INT spree for Jameis Winston continues -- he was pick-sixed on his very first pass attempt by Bradley Roby. Justin Watson tried to run an out-route. Timing routes have been an issue early on in games for the Bucs all season. Watson has a much bigger role today with no Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Jameis Winston leads his team back into the locker room after warmups. He threw four touchdowns last week without Mike Evans. Can he do the same without Evans AND Chris Godwin? He told Cam Brate and OJ Howard this week, "Hey, y'all are going to get that rock."

Judging by the way Bucs cornerback Carlton Davis was bouncing around to "Jump Around" in warmups, I don't think his ankle will be an issue today. He injured it in practice Thursday but looks to be moving fine.

Bucs' inactives against the Texans: WR Chris Godwin, OLB Kahzin Daniels, G Aaron Stinnie, T Jerald Hawkins, TE Jordan Leggett, TE Tanner Hudson and DL Beau Allen. Carlton Davis (ankle) will play.

The difference from the early part of the season to now for Breshad Perriman has been staggering. In Weeks 1-11, he caught 33.3 percent of targets thrown his way (average 13.77 air yards per target), 95 yards, 1 TD. In Weeks 12-15, Perriman's caught 77.8 percent (average 18.06 air yards per target), 314 yards, 4 TD.

Bucs outside linebacker Shaq Barrett needs just a half sack to break Warren Sapp's single-season franchise record of 16.5. They're currently tied. Sapp reached out to him this week and said, "Your work's not done. Go get it."
