Bucs shut out Cowboys; Panthers edge Saints

TAMPA, Fla. — Keyshawn Johnson caught a 7-yard touchdown pass and Martin Gramatica kicked field goals of 24, 26 and 50 yards to help restore some of the Super Bowl champions' swagger.

The Bucs (4-3) stopped the Cowboys' longest winning streak since 1994 at five games by forcing three turnovers, sacking Quincy Carter four times and holding Dallas (5-2) to just 178 yards.

The victory was sweet, too, because they beat Bill Parcells, who walked away from agreements to take over the Bucs twice in the past 12 years.

In other action on Sunday:

PANTHERS 23, SAINTS 20 (OT): At New Orleans, Stephen Davis' 33-yard run in overtime set up John Kasay's 31-yard field goal as Carolina shook off its only loss of the season with a comeback victory.

The Panthers (6-1) rallied in the closing minutes when Davis scored on a 1-yard dive that put Carolina up 20-17 with 3:45 left. But the Saints (3-5) come back to force overtime when John Carney made a 42-yard field goal with 36 seconds to go.

New Orleans won the coin toss in overtime and drove to the Carolina 37 before Deuce McAllister fumbled on fourth-and-1. Davis rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries.

CHIEFS 38, BILLS 5: At Kansas City, Mo., the Kansas City Chiefs are the last unbeaten team in the NFL this season.

Dante Hall's 67-yard catch-and-run got them rolling and Priest Holmes scored three touchdowns as the Chiefs (8-0) routed Buffalo 38-5 Sunday night.

And now the Chiefs get a week off to savor their perfect half season. Only 11 other teams since 1972 reached the midway point of the season without a loss. Eight advanced to the Super Bowl and six hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.

BENGALS 27, SEAHAWKS 24: At Cincinnati, Jon Kitna threw a 53-yard pass to Chad Johnson for the go-ahead touchdown as the Bengals (3-4) won back-to-back games for the first time in two years.

Bengals running back Corey Dillon got into a traffic accident on his way to the stadium and was inactive for the game, even though he wasn't injured. Instead, third-year back Rudi Johnson ran for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Matt Hasselbeck was 26-of-43 for 347 yards, but the Seahawks (5-2) self-destructed with three interceptions, one fumble and a blocked 49-yard field goal attempt by Josh Brown that set up the Bengals' go-ahead touchdown.
