In an unexpected turn of events at the NRG Stadium, the Houston Texans outshone the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a thrilling 39-37 victory. This win was largely due to quarterback C.J. Stroud's impressive five-touchdown performance, setting a new rookie record with 470 passing yards.
However, the day's true MVP was an unsuspecting hero – running back Dare Ogunbowale. When the Texans' designated kicker, Ka'imi Fairbaim, got injured in the first half, Ogunbowale found himself in an unexpected role. With no field goals attempted by the coach, the team opted for the two-point conversion after touchdowns instead.
With just 8 minutes and 48 seconds left on the clock, Head Coach DeMeco Ryans had no other choice but to send in Ogunbowale for a 29-yard field goal attempt. To everyone's astonishment, he nailed it! This spectacular performance made Ogunbowale the last non-kicker to score a field goal – a feat last achieved by Wes Welker back in 2004!
The Interweb was abuzz with excitement, making Ogunbowale the overnight sensation on social media. Celebrations and kudos poured in for the unsuspecting hero. Despite his heroic performance, C.J. Stroud remained the star of the evening with his record-breaking five-touchdown show.
