"I should have just called timeout and made them look at it,Cheap NFL Jerseys," Lewis said. "That's a big, big miss. We were trying to match up the personnel and there was one too many (Buccaneers)."
Andy Dalton shrugged off three first-half interceptions,Jerseys NFL Cheap, and the Bengals (8-3-1) weathered 10 penalties and an ill-advised onside kick that cost them momentum after taking the lead in the second half to win on the road for the third consecutive week.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers found an unusual way to lose Sunday.
But just as the Bengals looked as if they were taking control, Cincinnati tried an onside kick that Tampa Bay's Orie Lemon not only recovered, but returned to the Bengals 31, but Tampa Bay settled for Patrick Murray's 42-yard field goal to pull within 14-13.
The ball was moved back to the 46, an additional 14 seconds were added to the clock,Cheap Jerseys Free, and Tampa Bay turned the ball over on downs.
Dalton ran for a 5-yard TD in the second quarter, then threw 13 yards to A.J. Green to put the Bengals ahead 14-10 late in the third.
Johnthan Banks intercepted Dalton on the first play from scrimmage and returned the ball 32 yards to the Bengals 9 to set up a field goal for a 3-0 lead. Another Cincinnati miscue — a penalty on defensive tackle Geno Atkins for grabbing McCown's facemask on a third-down sack — extended the drive Doug Martin finished with his TD run to put the Bucs up 10-0.
Down by one point with 2:01 left, the Bucs drove with no timeouts left. Josh McCown's 29-yard completion to Bobby Rainey got them into Bengal territory, and McCown connected with Louis Murphy on a 21-yard gain to the Cincinnati 20 with 12 seconds left.
McCown,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, who completed 15 of 29 passes for 190 yards and one interception,NFL Jerseys Supply, said that the Bucs had an extra tackle on the field.
"That's how 2-10 football teams play. They find a way to lose it in the end," coach Lovie Smith said. "When you make dumb, stupid penalties like that throughout the game, it will bite you at the end, which it did."
"We were in a bit of a muddle-huddle there, and guys were on and off,Nike Tns Sale," he said. "That's what hurts so much about the last drive. We felt like we did what we needed to do in the situation, but a penalty got us. And they got us all day."
The Bucs were flagged 13 times in their seventh straight home loss, and the last one was the most costly.
This time they had too many men on the field, taking them out of field-goal range in the final minute of a 14-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
It was the fourth time the Bucs have led at halftime in their past five games. They won only one of them.
Officials initially announced the Bengals could not challenge, because coaches are not allowed to request any in the final two minutes. The replay official, however, had already decided to look at the play, and found the Bucs indeed lined up with 12 players.
As Tampa Bay scrambled to line up and spike the ball, an animated Bengals coach Marvin Lewis came off the sideline and threw the red flag to challenge the previous play. |
