KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Matt Bryant's 34-yard field goal in overtime Sunday gave Tampa Bay a 30-27 victory against Kansas City.

The win completed a game-long Tampa Bay comeback from a surprising 14-0 first-quarter deficit.

Bryant kicked three field goals in all.

Garcia went 31-of-43 for 339 yards, the one touchdown and one interception.

Running back Earnest Graham threw a 3-yard scoring scoring pass to Smith in the fourth quarter, and rushed for 62 yards on 19 carries for the Buccaneers, who overcame two Graham fumbles.

Bryant added eight catches for 115 yards, and Clifton Smith scored on a 97-yard kickoff return in the second quarter.

Kansas City's Tyler Thigpen completed 14-of-25 passes for 164 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.

He also caught a 37-yard scoring pass from Mark Bradley in the second quarter in the Chiefs' fourth straight loss.
