Receiving a brutal loss from an inferior team — on paper at least — should not be a surprise at this point for the Buccaneers as hopes for a turnaround look increasingly bleak.
Falling to 5-6 at the hands of the previously 3-7 Cleveland Browns looks even worse when considering all the levels of said defeat. Going against the worst run defense in the league, the Bucs couldn’t even muster 100 total yards on the ground. The coaching staff committed borderline malpractice at several critical junctures, and dumb penalties affected more than one drive.
