TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers only managed one trip into the red zone Sunday afternoon. They made it count in a crazy ending that sent the Dallas Cowboys to their first seven-game losing streak since 1989.

The Bucs got a 1-yard bootleg touchdown run by quarterback Jameis Winston to defeat the Cowboys 10-6 at Raymond James Stadium, making up for a day filled with missed opportunities by their offense.

The winning score came one play after Winston fumbled the ball leaping over a defender on a touchdown attempt, but a Dallas holding call in the end zone bailed the Bucs out.

The next play, Winston executed the fake perfectly and strolled into the end zone for the only touchdown in the game.

Dallas led at halftime on a pair of field goals but didn't score in the second half to drop to 2-7. Quarterback Tony Romo is expected to play next week for the first time since the team's last win in Week 2.

After second-half drives that started at their own 20-, 8-, 4- and 8-yard-lines, the Bucs began their final drive at their own 44 thanks to a crucial defensive stop as Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant dropped a 3rd-and-1 pass, leaving the Cowboys to punt from deep in their own territory.

The Bucs (4-5) drove 11 plays for the winner. Winston hit four different receivers on passes gaining 37 yards, including a 17-yarder to tight end Brandon Myers to give the Bucs a first down at the 16 with two minutes left.

Buccaneers running back Charles Sims caught a pass for six yards on the next play, ran for five more, and Winston, who finished 22 of 39 for 264 yards, did the rest.

Dallas had one last chance, but quarterback Matt Cassel's throw for Bryant in the end zone was picked off by safety Bradley McDougald, his second interception of the year.

NOTES: Until the final drive, the Cowboys were the only team to cross into the red zone, but only for two plays. An eight-yard loss on Bucs LB Kwon Alexander's sack pushed Dallas right back outside and forced the Cowboys to settle for a field goal….Dallas PK Dan Bailey made a 42-yarder and a season-long 53-yarder to stretch his streak to 18 straight field goals to start the season. But he missed from 48 yards to end that streak…. Connor Barth kicked a 52-yard field for the Bucs only first half points….Bucs QB Jameis Winston was intercepted with 1:35 left in the first half, as his pass attempt was tipped and picked off by Dallas S Jeff Heath. It was the first interception thrown by Winston, the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, since Oct. 4, a span of 134 passes.
