GAME REPORTS Bucs' two-game win streak snapped in overtime loss to Browns Disappointment seems inevitable for Tom Brady and Bucs fans Bucs lose Tristan Wirfs to leg injury, but early X-rays are negative Mike Evans eclipses 10,000 yards receiving Chris Godwin continues to improve from his ACL injury How Terry Pluto of The Cleveland Plain Dealer saw it all unfold Scott Smith’s official game report Click here for the play-by-play and the NFL gamebook
Another really bad loss to go along with the ones against Carolina and Pittsburgh. This game was given away with bad coaching decisions, bad play-calling and inopportune defensive mistakes. The Browns tied the score with a 4th down TD pass inside the final minute and then won it in overtime after Carlton Davis fell down on a pass coverage. Just when the two game winning streak had restored faith in their chances, the 2022 Bucs reverted to who they really are.
