The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended their three-game losing streak by escaping with a 26-23 overtime victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 7.
After firing defensive coordinator Mike Smith on Monday, the Bucs played an inspired game on that side of the ball. They held Cleveland's offense to 305 total yards, a vast improvement over the 440 yards opposing teams were averaging against them in the first five games.
There were still problem elements for the Bucs in the win. Jameis Winston turned the ball over three times and was sacked four times.
Tampa Bay's special teams gave up a 32-yard punt return to Jabrill Peppers that set up Cleveland's game-tying touchdown on a pass from Baker Mayfield to Jarvis Landry on the following play with 2:28 remaining in regulation.
