Special teams mistakes contribute to loss Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith often points to special teams as a potential winning edge. On Sunday, the Browns used a pair of deflected kicks as a springboard to a 22-17 victory. “All three phases contributed to it,’’ Smith said. “But special teams really hurt us.’’ An encouraging opening drive ended in misery for Tampa Bay as defensive lineman Billy Wynn broke through to block a 31-yard field goal attempt by rookie Patrick Murray. Cleveland promptly took an early lead on the first of Billy Cundiff’s three field goals. In the fourth quarter, with the Bucs clinging to a 17-16 advantage, linebacker Craig Robertson burst up the middle to get a hand on Michael Koenen’s punt, which dribbled 1 yard to the Tampa Bay 35-yard line. Two plays later, Brian Hoyer found rookie receiver Taylor Gabriel all by himself down the right side for a 34-yard touchdown strike that held up as the game-winning score. “That’s a killer,’’ Bucs long snapper Andrew DePaola said of the special teams breakdowns. “Their guy (Robertson) just made a really good play. The crowd gets into it when you see a blocked kick. Then they get points out of it and it’s just a huge momentum swing for them.’’ Robertson raced past Bucs running back Mike James and Koenen never saw him coming as he suffered his second blocked punt of the season. “To be honest, it was all (linebacker) Tank Carder,’’ Robertson said. “I had the block, but Tank took out two guys and it made me free.’’ And it certainly made Smith angry.
