TAMPA, Fla. -- Billy Cundiff turned from goat to hero with one swift kick. Cundiff atoned for three earlier misses by booting a 41-yard field goal with three seconds left Sunday to lift the Washington Redskins to a 24-22 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III drove the Redskins to the winning score after the Buccaneers had overcome an 18-point deficit to go ahead 22-21 with 1:42 left on Connor Barth's 47-yard field goal.
