TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Josh Freeman’s broken thumb held up well during a season-opening victory that the young Tampa Bay Buccaneers are determined to keep in perspective.
The second-year quarterback threw for 182 yards and two touchdowns Sunday, helping the Bucs come from behind to beat the Cleveland Browns 17-14.
It’s the first opener Tampa Bay has won since 2005, when the team got off to a 4-0 start. And while it’s gratifying, especially considering the team didn’t win for the first time last season until early November, coach Raheem Morris stressed it’s one game.
