The Tampa Bay Buccaneers eked out a nail-biting 17-14 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, as their rejuvenated rushing game shined, highlighted by rookie running back Ramon Jefferson's decisive three-yard touchdown run in the final minute. The Buccaneers had entered the contest at Paycor Stadium with their running scheme under keen scrutiny and left with a compelling showcase of ground gains.
