As far as meltdowns go, there have been worse ones than what the Browns experienced here in the Giant Sauna Bowl Sunday. But none come to mind with so much on the line in the first game of a season. A win over beatable Tampa Bay builds confidence in the team and its suffering fans that maybe this year will be different. Instead, the Browns begin their season 0-1 for the 11th time in 12 years. They lost to Tampa Bay, 17-14, after dominating the first half. Two Jake Delhomme interceptions and a Peyton Hillis fumble made thankful winners out of the Bucs, who were worse than the Browns last year. Delhomme's first interception was returned to the Browns' 3 by cornerback Ronde Barber, setting up a touchdown with 18 seconds to go in the first half. Hillis' fumble occurred on the first possession of the second half at the Tampa 15 when a touchdown would have been a foot to the throat of the young Bucs. After the fumble, the Browns gained only two more first downs the rest of the game and had only one more play over 10 yards.
