It was a rough outing for most Bucs on Saturday night as the Browns starters and reserves pretty much controlled the entire game on their way to a 31-7 victory. All three phases of the game (offense, defense and special teams) showed some major flaws in what is generally the most important game of the preseason.
The offense only had one 1st down in the 1st quarter and only put up seven points in the 1st half. The defense gave up scoring drives of 80 and 78 yards, both resulting in TDs.
Special teams wasn’t any better allowing Travis Benjamin to return a punt 53 yards for a TD; both Bucs kickers missed a FG as well.
