The Cleveland Browns will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday in the NFL 2015 preseason. Starters for both teams are expected to play for at least a half as rosters look to ramp things up ahead of the regular season now just a few weeks out. The game has a scheduled start time of 7 p.m. ET and takes place from the Raymond James Stadium. The game can be watched online through live stream via the link below.
The Browns and the Buccaneers have both seen improvements in some areas over recent weeks, but they both will also know they still have a lot more to clamp down upon in advance of the season commencing.
Week 3 is a time where both rosters are set to intensify their preparations and will be going through their plays and schemes in today's match up. With starters on both sides expected to play a significant part today, fans should be set for a good match up.
Week 3 in the NFL preseason is a big one, with three games taking place on Friday night, and 11 more taking place on Saturday.
On Friday, the New England Patriots were able to obtain a road win over the Carolina Panthers 17-16, and although it was by no means anywhere near a complete performance, they will be pleased to have come out on the right side of the result.
The Patriots are of course dealing with the loss of Tom Brady, who through DeflateGate will miss the opening four games of the regular season. So their top priority is to make sure they cover his big absence well enough not to allow the opening games to undermine their season and push for another Super Bowl.
In other games on Saturday the Kansas City Chiefs continued to look impressive in their preseason warm-ups. The Chiefs claimed a very convincing 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans, and their preseason form will give them hope that they can make a significant impact in the new season.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions looked far from their best, but still saw off a Jacksonville Jaguars team that looks like it is on the way up, but still a few seasons away from being able to seriously compete for postseason spots. The Lions came away from Jacksonville with a 22-17 victory.
Saturday's games feature 11 match ups, and being Week 3 fans can expect a much more intensive affair, with starters being given more field time as final preparations for the new season are put in place. Week 3 is traditionally a time where teams look to ramp things up significantly from previous weeks, and can be more intensive than Week 4 as teams look to be more cautious about injuries in the final preseason week as the new season gets close.
