Buccaneers vs. Dolphins final score: Bucs defense beats down Miami

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won their fourth preseason game, beating the Miami Dolphins 22-17 in a battle of the backups on both sides of the ball. The Bucs are now 2-2 in this preseason -- an improvement over last year's 1-3 outing. Hopefully that improvement carries over into the regular season, as the Bucs take on the Tennessee Titans in their first game on Sunday, September 13.

The Bucs defense looked pretty good in the first half, picking off McLeod Bethel-Thompson and generally stifling the Dolphins offense, outside of one touchdown drive where the run defense completely collapsed for some weird reason.
