Barth kicks game-winner as Bucs stun Bengals

His sideline pass to Micheal Spurlock set up the Bucs at the 13. Spurlock got both toes down as he fell, a catch upheld upon review. Barth then kicked it through, and the Buccaneers streamed on the field in celebration.

One second premature.

Cincinnati's multilateral return on the kickoff ended with one more turnover. And now the Bengals have a lot of trouble heading into their bye week.

The high-tech passing game had very few good moments again. Owens ran past the secondary on a quick-snap play for a 43-yard touchdown, but there were a lot of dropped passes and off-target throws. Cincinnati's offense didn't get moving until it went back to the basics, turning to the run-first philosophy that got it to the playoffs last year.

Cedric Benson carried 23 times for 144 yards, his first 100-yard game of the season. He set a club record with six last season.

It wasn't enough to overcome those two last-minute mistakes.
