Another narrow victory for the Bucs, this time over a poor team but admittedly on the road on a short week
after their Monday Night heroics. Corey Dillon tied the game late for the Bengals but then coughed up the
ball inside his own five-yard line in overtime and the Bucs quickly kicked the winning fieldgoal and returned
home with a must win.
