TAMPA, Fla. - Sloppy but victorious, Cincinnati extended its slender lead in the AFC North with help from a 12th man.Andy Dalton shrugged off flu-like symptoms to run for one touchdown and throw for another Sunday as the first-place Bengals overcame his mistakes and others in a 14-13 victory over the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Dalton threw three first-half interceptions and Cincinnati (8-3-1) overcame 10 penalties and an ill-advised onside kick that helped Tampa Bay stay in the game to win on the road for the third consecutive week.Thats a franchise first that seemed improbable following a lopsided home loss to Cleveland a month ago.Im pleased that we basically overcame ourselves and won the football game, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.We had, obviously, the turnovers offensively that led to scores, we had penalties on defence that kept drives alive, and those are things we overcame, Lewis added. Theyre going to show up once in a while, but we seemed to have them all today. ... We kind of got in our own way all day.As poorly as the Bengals played, though, Tampa Bay (2-10) committed the biggest blunder of the day — a penalty in the closing seconds for having too many men on the field. The infraction overturned a 21-yard pass completion that would have moved the Bucs into position for a possible game-winning field goal.It was the last of 13 penalties called against them.Thats how 2-10 football teams play. They find a way to lose it in the end, Tampa Bay 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.The Bengals lead the tightest division race in the NFL, with a 1 1/2-game lead over each of their AFC North rivals. Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland all lost Sunday.It looked as if Cincinnati might fall as well, when Josh McCowns throw to Louis Murphy appeared to give the Bucs a first down at the Bengals 20 with 12 seconds remaining.As Tampa Bay scrambled to line up and spike the ball, an animated Lewis came off the sideline and threw the red flag to challenge the previous play.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.The guys upstairs were saying it right from the start, before they snapped the ball. ... We were trying to match up the personnel and there was one too many, Lewis said.McCown said the Bucs had an extra tackle on the field. The quarterback didnt notice, and neither did Smith.We were in a bit of a muddle-huddle there, and guys were on and off. ... Weve just got to handle it better, McCown said.Blame the head coach. Bad move on my part, (I) didnt see it, Smith said. We had 12 guys on the field. Cant happen.The ball was moved back to the 41, where a 5-yard penalty was added and an additional 14 seconds were added to the clock. Tampa Bay turned the ball over on downs with a second left.It was a crazy drive, kind of stressful, said Dalton, who said he became ill late Saturday and was up most of the night before the game. For them to have 12 guys on the field, thats not something you see all the time, but fortunately for us it happened.Dalton, who said he couldnt recall a time when he felt as sick before a game as he did early Sunday, ran for a 5-yard TD in the second quarter. He threw 13 yards to A.J. Green to put the Bengals ahead 14-10 late in the third.But just as the Bengals looked as if they were taking control, Cincinnati tried an onside kick that Tampa Bays Orie Lemon not only recovered, but returned to the Bengals 31.An unnecessary roughness penalty for Brandon Thompsons hit on McCown moved the ball to the 16, but Tampa Bay settled for Patrick Murray 42-yard field goal to pull within 14-13.McCown completed 15 of 29 passes for 190 yards and one interception. He was sacked once.Dalton finished 19 of 27 for 176 yards and was sacked twice. The Bengals rushed for 112 yards, with Giovani Bernard gaining 49 on 10 carries and Jeremy Hill adding 40 on 13 attempts.As the game went on, I started to feel better, Dalton said. Im not going to make any excuses for the way things started out. It obviously isnt something that you want to deal with, but Im not saying thats the reason things came out the way it did.NOTES: Johnthan Banks, Brandon Dixon and Alterraun Verner had Tampa Bays interceptions, but the Bucs were only able to turn them into three points — a first-quarter field goal after Banks returned Daltons first pass of the game 32 yards to Cincinnati 9. ... The Bengals snapped a six-game losing streak in a series Tampa Bay leads 7-4. It was their first win over the Bucs since a 56-23 rout at home in 1989. ... Tampa Bay RB Doug Martin led Tampa Bay with 58 yards rushing on 18 carries. The Bengals have allowed just over 71 per game on the ground the past three weeks.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Nike Shoes From China Online .S. womens soccer team to a 2-0 win over China in Colorado in the afternoon.

Clifford said he will coach Monday night when the Bobcats host the Atlanta Hawks. "I feel fine," Clifford said following Mondays shoot around. "I havent had any pain, even minor pain, since the incident." Clifford, 52, said he was taken by ambulance to the hospital Thursday night after experiencing chest pains while dining at a Charlotte restaurant. The following day doctors inserted the stents to prevent blockage to the heart. "I had significant pain in my chest and I was having trouble breathing," Clifford said. "So it was scary enough where I had them call 911. And I was lucky that I did. ... Once I got the hospital I felt good." Clifford said he feels lucky that he acted as quickly as he did, knowing the incident could have been worse had he ignored the warning signs. "At least I got a warning signal," Clifford said. "Things worked out well. The doctors have me on a good plan and Im going to follow it." He said he will need to change his diet. "I will have to, but its only been two days and obviously it hasnt shown up yet," he said with a laugh as he rubbed his stomach. Clifford only missed one game — a 101-91 loss Friday night tto the New York Knicks.dddddddddddd Associate head coach Patrick Ewing filled in for Clifford. Doctors advised Clifford to take it easy, which wont be easy considering the Bobcats have four games in six days. Clifford is in his first season with the Bobcats. He was hired to replace Mike Dunlap, who was fired after the Bobcats finished 21-61 last season. Clifford isnt the only one returning Monday night. He said centre Al Jefferson, who missed five games with an ankle injury, will start against Atlanta. Jefferson could give the Bobcats (3-3) an added boost in Cliffords return. Jefferson, who signed a three-year, $41 million contract with the Bobcats this off-season, first injured his ankle in the teams second preseason game against the Miami Heat. He sat out to remainder of the preseason and returned to play in the regular season opener at Houston. However, he re-aggravated the ankle and hasnt played since. "I dont know how many minutes hell play, but he feels good and didnt have any soreness from practice," Clifford said. "Well start him and try to integrate him into our play as best that we can." When Jefferson was told he was starting he replied, "Thats music to my ears." Jefferson said the most important thing is making sure he doesnt have a setback and is able to continue playing after Monday nights game ' ' '
