Preseason Game Slips Away on Wet Night

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns did battle on a wet and sloppy field Saturday night. The end zones seemed particularly inhospitable.

Cleveland scored the night's only touchdown just after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter – a five-yard pass from Kevin Hogan to Jordan Leslie – securing a 13-9 victory in the Buccaneers' first home game of 2017. At that point, both teams were well into their reserves after spending most of the first three quarters in a war of field goals.

The elements contributed to a night in which both teams had trouble scoring points despite playing their starting units into the third quarter.
