Jameis Winston and Mike Evans absolutely crush the Browns
Cleveland Browns fans got to celebrate a couple of Josh Gordon highlights Friday night, as the oft-suspended wide receiver hooked up with RG3 on a couple of long passes.
Then Browns fans went back to licking their wounds as Jameis Winston and Mike Evans absolutely crushed Cleveland's secondary in one half of work.
Winston completed 16 of 25 passes for 259 yards and two TDs, including five throws to Evans for 115 yards and a 34-yard TD.

That wasn't all the good news for Tampa Bay fans, either. The Bucs racked up eight sacks, including five of RG3 in the first half, and rookie kicker Robert Aguayo regained his accuracy, hitting from 48, 27 and 21 yards and drilling three extra points in a 30-13 win.
The second-round draft pick missed an extra point at Philadelphia two weeks ago, then failed to convert a pair of field goals against Jacksonville. He had a rough week in practice, too, missing two field goals and getting booed by fans attending a Browns-Bucs joint practice.
