Week 7: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26, Cleveland Browns 23 (OT)

Tampa Bay took a 14-point lead into the fourth-quarter but two Browns touchdowns and a missed Buccaneers 40-yard field goal as time expired put this game into overtime. Both teams punted and Cleveland didn’t capitalize on a Jameis Winston interception before Bucs kicker Chandler Catanzaro redeemed himself by connecting on a 59-yard attempt for the win.

Week 8: at Cincinnati Bengals (4-3), 1:00pm

Tampa Bay needed the win to even their record and now travels to Cincinnati, losers of two straight. If the Buccaneers can limit their mistakes and protect the football, a win is not out of the question as their quest for an NFC South championship remains in tact almost midway through the season.
