Buccaneers Slip to 10th Loss in 20-0 Browns Setback
Tampa Bay, plagued by injuries and inconsistent protection, lost 20-0 to Cleveland at the Stadium. QB Jack Thompson blamed missed conversions while Bill Capece missed two late first-half field goals. Injuries sidelined stars James Wilder and Jimmie Giles, and an ever-changing offensive line hampered the attack as the Bucs dropped to 1-10.
