USFL Week 8: Houston Gamblers-Tampa Bay Bandits top plays
Week 8 of the USFL season comes to a close Sunday with the Tampa Bay Bandits (3-4) hosting the Houston Gamblers (1-6).
Here are the top plays from Sunday’s game.
Houston Gamblers vs. Tampa Bay Bandits
Man down
The Bandits had to settle for a field goal after this brutal sack by Chris Odom took down QB Jordan Ta’Amu for a loss of nine yards. Odom is now the first player to reach 10 sacks on the season.
Touchdown time
Tampa Bay wide receiver Derrick Dillon caught a seven-yard pass from Ta’Amu and ran it in for the first touchdown of the day, giving TB a 10-0 lead.
Right before the half
Tampa Bay’s Tyler Rausa extended the Bandits’ lead to 13-0 right before halftime.
An immediate answer
Houston’s Nick Vogel capitalized on an 8-play, 41-yard drive with a 44-yard field goal to get Houston on the board immediately after halftime.
Tampa’s lead was cut to 10, still leading 13-3.
Tide turning?
After Houston’s touchdown, Vogel tried an onside kick and recovered it all in the same sequence, giving Houston the ball with great field position.
Houston couldn’t capitalize on the big play, though, and was forced to an immediate three-and-out.
Leaving the door open?
Tampa Bay took 6:12 off the clock and mounted a 12-play, 50-yard drive, all for a missed field goal.
At the end of the third quarter, Tampa Bay held a 13-3 lead.
