Browns-Buccaneers preseason 2015: Game time, TV schedule, live stream, predictions, radio and more

The most important preseason game is coming up on Saturday evening: the third game. That's the game that sees the starters playing into the third quarter, preparing for the regular season and giving everyone a good idea of where they stand. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will use their third game to go up against the Cleveland Browns.

That's going to be an interesting matchup for two reasons. One: the Browns have a really talented defense who will pose a good challenge for Jameis Winston and especially the Bucs' offensive line. It's (mostly) a 3-4 defense that blitzes quite a lot, and plays a lot of man coverage. It's a bit of a contrast with the slightly more static defenses the Bucs faced the past two games.

Two: Josh McCown comes back to Tampa. If the Bucs defense is as good as they aim to be this year, they need to be dominant against the Cleveland Browns. Because the Browns are not very good on offense. Their run game is mediocre, and McCown has looked like the disaster he was last year. If last Monday's performance against the Bengals wasn't an outlier, we should see Gerald McCoy and company wreak havoc tomorrow.
