TAMPA, Fla. -- It was one win for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it provided a glimmer of hope that promoting linebackers coach Mark Duffner to defensive coordinator might have been the right call.
Could the Bucs' ailing defense be headed in the right direction following coach Dirk Koetter's decision to move on from former coordinator Mike Smith?
The Bucs defeated the Cleveland Browns 26-23 in overtime, snapping a three-game losing streak to improve to 3-3.
How they won might not have been pretty: a stout first half with a commanding 16-2 lead, followed by a sloppy second half in which the Browns tied it at 23 with 2:28 to go in the fourth quarter.
