CLEVELAND, OHIO: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a 17-10 lead in the game's final minute to the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday, November 27. Bucs quarterback Tom Brady finished the game with 246 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while wide receiver Chris Godwin led the Bucs with 110 yards and a touchdown on 12 receptions. However, the match proved to be a disappointing one but those in attendance at the game witnessed something unusual. A skunk was spotted in Section 140 of the stadium by Browns fan Madison Kerley. And the encounter, which was caught on video, has now created a stir online.

Fans kept their distance, while the skunk searched in the stand and under the seats for food before hiding under a step. The whereabouts of the skunk are currently unknown, but many claimed that it worked as the lucky charm for the Browns, whose logo is 'Brownie the Elf.' A fan wrote, "Cleveland Browns had secret weapon today!" One more said, "Browns embracing the Rally Skunk." While another asked, "Did they unleash the new mascot early?"

On the other hand, one user pointed out the November 22 incident when an unknown person drove a vehicle in circles around the stadium’s grass field, causing damage. The user asked, "Can anyone and anything just get in the stadium in Cleveland? First the dude tearing up the field with his truck this week. Now this." A fan tweeted, "Well if that isn't symbolic I don't know what is." Another user said, "Still doesn’t stink as bad as the product on the field."
