Browns Beat Buccaneers 23-19 After Weather Delay

  • On Sunday, September 20, 2026, quarterback Deshaun Watson led the Cleveland Browns to a 23-19 comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., throwing two touchdown passes.
  • Much of the pregame scrutiny centered on Watson's $230 million investment, while Mayfield returned to face his former team after signing a three-year, $165 million contract extension earlier this month.
  • Watson completed 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown to rookie Denzel Boston that tied the game 16-16; both teams' kickers combined to convert seven field goals.
  • After a two-hour, 12-minute lightning delay, Mayfield's fourth-down pass fell incomplete in the rain, sealing the win for Cleveland and leaving the Browns at 1-1 while the Buccaneers dropped to 0-2.
  • The Cleveland Browns host the Carolina Panthers on September 27 for their home opener, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare to host the Minnesota Vikings on the same day.
