Buccaneers takeaways: Jameis Winston crumbles in overtime

For most Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans, it probably doesn’t feel like victory Monday.

The Bucs were extremely fortunate that they came away with a win against the Cleveland Browns, despite the subpar play from the team throughout overtime.

For the first time all season, the Tampa Bay defense showed up to play. The pass rush got after Baker Mayfield as the Bucs managed a season-high five sacks.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Bucs offense struggled to take advantage of the defense’s steady effort. Poor throws, bad drops and a handful of fumbles stopped the offense in its tracks.
