LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 Cleveland Browns 22
Buccaneers quarter back Glennon threw for 260 yards, connecting with Evans on a pair of 24-yard touchdowns, giving Tampa Bay a 17-16 lead late in the third quarter.
Cleveland scored with 8:59 remaining in regulation, and won the game by the score of 22-17. In the final two minutes, the Buccaneers drove to the Cleveland 28 yard line, but an offensive pass interference penalty pushed them back to the 47. Facing 4th down & 11, Glennon's pass was incomplete, and the Browns defeated Tampa Bay for the first time since 1995..
