TAMPA, Fla. -- Josh Gordon showed why the Cleveland Browns are so happy to have him back on the field.The talented receiver with a history of suspensions for drug violations caught everything thrown his way in his preseason debut Friday night, scoring on a 43-yard reception and also hauling in another pass from Robert Griffin III for a 44-yard gain that led to a first quarter field goal in a 30-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.It feels great, said the third-year pro, a former college teammate of RG III. I feel really good to be out there with my teammates, my brothers. It was uplifting.Jameis Winston threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns in one half of work for the Bucs, who achieved an objective of starting faster on offense than they did the previous two weeks.Griffin completed 8 of 14 passes for 119 yards, one TD and no interceptions before being replaced by Josh McCown at the start of the third quarter. Gordon was only targeted twice and finished with 87 yards receiving, both his catches coming when he beat cornerback Brent Grimes, one of Tampa Bays key offseason acquisitions.Gordon, whose preseason debut was delayed by a quadriceps injury, hadnt played since December 2014. He was suspended all of last season for violating the NFLs policy on substance abuse, and wont be eligible for the first four games of this regular season.I played with Josh before. Its just good to see him out there making plays, getting an opportunity to get back in the league, Griffin said. Were looking forward to him making the most of that. Im really excited for him.A Pro Bowl selection in 2013 when he had 87 catches for 1,646 yards and nine TDs, Gordon has been the subject of trade speculation during training camp. Although the Browns have said theyre not interested in moving him, and Gordon has said he wants to remain in Cleveland, club executive Sashi Brown said Thursday that like any player, there is a price for the 25-year-old receiver, who has been suspended for 27 of the last 32 games.The NFL Network reported Friday that price is a second-rounder and more.Teams watching tape of him against the Bucs can understand why. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound receiver ran past Grimes on his first catch, then made a nice adjustment on the ball to gain the inside position to make his TD catch as he crossed the goal line.He made a tremendous play. It was good just to get him out there in a game, Browns coach Hue Jackson said. He did some good things. There are some things well continue to improve on with him, but I thought it was a good start for him.BIG PLAY DUOTampa Bays Mike Evans had five receptions for 115 yards, including a 34-yard TD from Winston, who completed 16 of 25 passes in what likely was his final tuneup for the regular season.POOR PROTECTIONGriffin was sacked five times. Cleveland yielded three more sacks in the second half.ROOKIE WATCHBrowns: First-round draft pick WR Corey Coleman played after sitting out the first preseason games with a sore hamstring. He was targeted, once on a deep throw, but did not have a reception. He also returned two punts for 10 yards.Buccaneers: Struggling K Roberto Aguayo rebounded from missing three kicks in the first two weeks of the preseason, booting field goals of 48, 21 and 27 yards and making all three of his extra points. 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.I had to focus, lock in and do what I used to do at Florida State, Aguayo said. On the professional level, you can make 30 kicks in a row, miss one and the one miss is all theyre going to talk about. Im glad I went out and did my job. Im very happy to help the team.POSITION BATTLESBrowns: CB Jamar Taylor, who has replaced Tramon Williams as a starter, got spun around in coverage on Evans TD catch.Buccaneers: LG Josh Allen and RG Evan Smith filled in for starters Kevin Pamphile and Ali Marpet, who did not dress.NEW LOOKThe Buccaneers unveiled six new video boards with a total display area of 28,416 square feet, which the team says is the third largest in the NFL.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Tyler Davis tallied game highs with 16 points and 10 rebounds and fellow big man Tonny Trocha-Morelos added 11 points as Texas A&M overpowered Northwestern State for a 72-44 victory on Friday night to open the season.We knew we had the size advantage, so we just played to our strengths in this game, Davis said. We just tried to execute and run our offense, and see what we can get.The Aggies dominated inside, outscoring the Demons 42-8 in the paint.Thats where we want the ball, A&M coach Billy Kennedy said of A&Ms guards following his game plan.The games outcome was never in doubt, as A&M quickly built on a 12-point halftime lead, and had more than doubled up the Demons at 57-28 about halfway through the second half. A&M shot 46 percent (28 of 61) from the field, while holding NSU to 28 percent (12 of 43).They have size and strength, Demons coach Mike McConathy said of the Aggies. In the second half, they were just too much.The Demons were led by Zeek Woodleys 10 points, and Ishmael Lane added eight points. The Aggies led 33-21 at the break, thanks largely to shutting down the Demons 18-0 in the paint over the first 20 minutes.The Aggies replaced four senior starters from last years Sweet 16 team, but didnt miss a beat in the opener.People talk about the seniors who left, but we know that were capable of doing the same thing, (maybe) better, Trocha-Morelos said. We just have to show people were here to play basketball.BIG PICTURENorthwestern State: The Demons figure even with a tough early schedule -facing SEC and Big 12 foes for starters -- their stiff competition helps prepare them for Southlaand Conference play.dddddddddddd And that theres plenty to learn from even in a 28-point loss.Texas A&M: The Aggies did exactly what coach Billy Kennedy promised in the offseason, mostly running the offense through their talented big men, often resisting the urge to just get out and run against an overmatched opponent.STAT OF THE NIGHTThe Aggies didnt even allow the Demons a point in the paint in the first half, and wound up with a 42-8 advantage. The Demons could do nothing with bullish center Davis, a member of the SEC coaches preseason first team.TURNING POINTThe Aggies led only 25-19 with 2:50 left in the first half when sharpshooter D.J. Hogg coolly drained a 3-pointer, deflating the Demons hopes of keeping the game tight at the break.CROWD PLEASERA crowd pleaser occurred with about 12 minutes remaining in the game, when A&M guard Admon Gilder tossed an alley oop to dynamic freshman forward Robert Williams, who snagged the pass a foot above the rim and slammed it home for a 55-28 A&M lead.I wish I could jump like him, Kennedy said.ROLE PLAYERWilliams came off the bench in his first college game and made 3-of-5 from the field for six points, He also snagged seven rebounds, tying for second with Tavario Miller behind Tyler Daviss game-high 10.
