Randy Bullock scored a 44-yard goal as the Bengals led a wild 37-34 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Joe Mixon scored 123 yards and two touchdowns, a career-high, while Tyler Boyd added nine catches for his 138-yard career record and a score as the Bengals entered the week at 5-3.
Take a bow A.J. Green because he has prepared the kickoff in the last two games with catches totaling 34 yards.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, the former Bengals quarterback, drove the Bucs from their 12 with 3:16 left for eight points and tie at 34 with a 1:10 left. Facing the fourth and third of the 18, he pitched a seed at the tight end O.J. Howard running between linebackers and cornerback Dre Kirpatrick for TD. Then, on the match, rookie defensive lineman Sam Hubbard could not finalize a sack and Fitzpatrick punched forward two-pointer tight Chris Godwin, despite rookie Darius Phillips and linebacker Jordan Evans.
The Bengals offense was in a coma in the second half, except in the final at 1:05, while quarterback Andy Dalton recorded his twentieth career win, finishing with a score of 107.5 for smugglers out of 21 out of 34. passes for 280 yards. In a quarter and a half, Fitzpatrick introduced a new FitzMagic poster when he created 194 yards out of 11 of 15 assists in 17:10.
While Phillips were already playing at the corner, the Bengals also had to go to the little used corner, KeiVarae Russell, at one point when Kirkpatrick came out with an Achilles problem. He came back, but the Bucs racked up 576 yards, the second-leading scorer against Marvin Lewis's defense.
The Bengals lost a 21-0 lead, the only way possible. After scoring four touchdowns on 36 shots in the first half, the offense withered and died. They could not run the ball, did not win the first goal in their first four games in the second half, only six minutes behind 12 games, and allowed touchdowns of 60 and 72 yards.
Fitzpatrick sent that 72-yard ball to distant catcher Mike Evans with absolutely no one near him and narrowed the gap to 34-26 with 9:57 left in the game. Mixon, who had 114 yards in the first period, lost four by the time the Bengals got the ball back when he had only 6h25 left to try to kill him. Mixon got the first try of the half with 4:55 to go on a third and a push
Then, he broke a series of tackles on the next shot for a nine-yard gain and set up a 15-yard throw back from Dalton to Green at Tampa Bay 33, the first take of Green by the third and third of the day. with 3:38 left.
But then the offense has imploded. Mixon lost a yard on the first run, Dalton took a bad bag that took them out of the shooting range, then Mixon dropped a screen to coach Kevin Huber in a punt that put Tampa Bay at 12. minutes from the end of the match. .
The Bengals continued quarterback Jameis Winston to Tampa Bay with four interceptions. By the time their old friend Fitzpatrick appeared, the Bengals had a 34-16 lead, while they still had 2:10 left in the third quarter after rookie Jessie Bates scored 21 yards with her first pick in career. six and TD, the fourth return of the Bengals in the NFL.
Cincinnati was his second pick of the quarter when Jordan Evans was staged. Her first career interception was relegated to the background and was helped by harassment of Winston by stalker Andrew Billings.
But it was another expensive day. They lost one of their best strikers when Carl Lawson tore his ACL, the second injury of this type in as many weeks for them.
The Bengals took a 27-6 lead with 2 minutes and 34 seconds to go in the first half. Six minutes from the second half of the match, they were only 27-16. And they only had the ball for three games before returning it to an average team of about 450 yards per game.
Bullock's sending shot that sailed out of bounds scored a field goal in Tampa at the end of the first half and in the first Tampa series in the second half, Winston converted a third and 13th wide receiver Adam Humphries following the first tackle Adolphus Washington The Bengals prepare the one-yard touchdown of half-off Peyton Barber.
After two soft attempts to open the game that briefly cost them another tight end of the game, Jordan Franks caught a 32-yard pass in his first NFL victory to highlight a touchdown hit by the touchdown. a Mixon match with 3:04 to go in the first. quarter to restart the Bengals with a 27-9 lead at halftime.
The Bengals defense did its part with two interceptions of Winston in the half, two sacks and she did not allow the NFL's No. 1 offensive points before it was 4:36 late in the half when wide receiver DeSean Jackson ran with the half-corner William Jackson. Touchdown of 60 yards.
It seemed that Will was watching DeSean, an unusual gesture on the part of the Bengals, but it seemed that Will was looking for help on the DeSean post. After Randy Bullock missed another point, he threw the ball off the court to give the ball to Tampa 40 minutes from the end of the match. The Bengals forced Chandler Catanzaro forward 25 yards with three seconds left in the half when Winston knocked Evans back in the end zone with Kirpatrick.
It was the 18th time in the last 24 games that a Bengals opponent had scored in the last two minutes of the half, but that could ruin a good 30 minutes with this desperately needed offensive after scoring ten points last week in Kansas City. against the last defense of the NFL.
That's all it took for Mixon to reach the season record with 114 strokes in 14 carries and Dalton tackled a Tampa Bay defense, allowing 125 smugglers to get a score of 129, 6. He had 13 passes for 20 yards for 192 yards and two touchdowns, the last with a 2m34 left on a 17-yard dash where Green outscored rookie Carlton Davis III.
Boyd also needed only half a goal to join the 100-yard club with 112 on six outlets.
Franks, who has not moved to central Florida, was promoted to the training team last week when Mason Schreck became the third tight end to injury in Kansas City. When CJ Uzomah, the last opponent of the training camp, injured his shoulder again in the second set, Franks found himself moving and following a wheel path on the line of the linebacker Devonte Bond. Dalton wrote that to Tampa 31 and two shots later, he returned to Boyd and they probably should have given him the touchdown when he dipped on the pylon at the end of the 28-yard game that allowed Mixon to score the goal.
Uzomah came back.
Up to 7-0, the Bengals chose Winston a second time. This time, Hubbard put Winston in the pocket, reproduced his moves, then got hold of a pass intercepted by linebacker Preston Brown to put the Bengals to their advantage. 42.
The series was a difficult job. After the left tackle Cordy Glenn was called for a shot, Lewis made it fourth down for the second time in the match, from fourth to third in the Bucs 36. Green picked the right time to make his first take of the day with 10:53 left in the first half on a sliding 10 meters out of the slot. Then Mixon pitched for 21 on a wrong direction where he took off behind Glenn while they were heading to the right.
They climbed 14-0 when Dalton lined up three receivers to his left with Boyd, Green and Alex Erickson from inside to third and 6th in 9th place at Tampa 9. Linebacker Adarius Taylor has no chance against Boyd in sewing. picking Dalton's ball, barely turning.
After the Bengals continued to scramble for Winston (left-back Carlos Dunlap dropped off halfback Ronald Jones II for a defeat in the backfield and Hubbard added a bag), Boyd managed a brittle 45-yard pass on two passes and Mixon came in behind the right guard, Alex Redmond and center Trey Hopkins for an eight-yard touchdown with 5:07 to go in the half.
Then, Mixon presented his series in the next series to prepare Green's TD at the end of the half with the longest course of his career, a 43-yard runner where he started tracking down the left perimeter. Some free kicks and missed tackles later in the middle of the field, the ball was at Bucs 17 and Green was waiting.
The tone of the day may have been set by Bengal safety Shawn Williams in the middle of the first quarter, in a 0-0 match that the Bucs had thrown into the red zone in the 18th minute. But Winston sent a touchdown pass to Williams instead of Evans.
The Bengals ended the half with eight interceptions for the season after getting 11 assists all year. Now they have 10 to approach the second half of the season.
