>On paper, this was certainly a winnable game for Tampa. They gained more yards on offense and owned the time-of-possession battle. However, they were just one for four in the red zone in this contest. On defense, it was a tough day at the office.

>Watson found a connection with Browns rookie Denzel Boston through the air. Boston caught five passes for 95 yards and a touchdown in this game. Cleveland’s offense was a bit one-note, as they didn’t have any real success on the ground. But they made the plays they needed to come away with a win.

>The Buccaneers certainly need to put this one behind them. There is still a lot of football left to be played. They need to find a way to prevent these losses from snowballing.
