CLEVELAND — Thirty-two seconds was all that stood between the Bucs and their third straight win. One play on fourth down to walk away from FirstEnergy Stadium with an ugly but urgent win over the Browns.
But the Bucs defense has struggled closing out games this season and it happened again Sunday.
Jacoby Brissett threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to David Njoku as the fourth quarter wound down, then connected with Amari Cooper for 45 yards in overtime to the Tampa Bay 3-yard line.
