Josh Gordon's catches don't overshadow Browns' clunker vs. Bucs

The Cleveland Browns may look on Josh Gordon's late first-half touchdown catch as a good sign from Friday night's game in Tampa Bay.

But if they let that obscure the other realities from this 30-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they're fooling themselves.

Prior to that touchdown throw, the offense struggled and the defense looked anemic. At certain points, it would have been hard for the Browns to look worse, which is concerning given it was the third preseason game, which by most accounts is supposed to be the most important one.
