The Cleveland Browns demonstrated Friday night that they remain a work in progress as the offense struggled early and often against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in allowing eight sacks on the evening.
However, bright spots included a 43-yard bomb from Robert Griffin III to Josh Gordon and Isaiah Crowell’s 39 rushing yards on eight carries, a tidy 4.88 yards per attempt.
The Browns spent last week in Tampa holding a pair of practices with the Buccaneers in preparation for Friday’s preseason game. The reports from Tampa were positive as the Browns seemed to have gotten the best of the Buccaneers in practice.
