Marvin Lewis bailed out his Cincinnati Bengals Sunday in a 14-13 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With the game on the line with mere seconds left, Lewis challenged a big gain by Tampa Bay that would have put the Buccaneers into chip-shot range for the game-winning field goal. Although Lewis did not have the power to challenge any play, the stoppage birthed a review that caused the officials to call a flag and negate the big gain.
Cincinnati went on to win. Lewis put it best after the fact, as captured by Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com:
Marvin: we overcame ourselves
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) November 30, 2014 In one of the most forgettable games of the season, Lewis was the hero. Andy Dalton threw a trio of interceptions. The offense as a whole was stifled. The defense was stingy, partially thanks to help from Tampa Bay's sheer ineptitude, but it could not stop shooting itself in the foot.
Regardless, the Bengals now have three consecutive wins on the road and return home with a chance to regroup as leaders of the AFC North.
Within, let's dish out grades for the up-and-down performance.
