Cade Otton wore gloves for the first time in an NFL game during the Buccaneers' matchup against the Cleveland Browns on September 23. He recorded five catches on six targets for 38 yards as Tampa Bay lost 23 to 19. Otton's history with drops prompted the change; he previously played without gloves following Tom Brady's retirement. Despite a fumble, Otton made a notable one-handed catch from Baker Mayfield, highlighting the potential benefits of his new gear. The performance raises questions about whether he will continue using gloves moving forward.
