TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a much-needed victory, and the Miami Dolphins showed a bullying scandal hasn’t completely torn the team apart.

The Bucs (1-8) became the last NFL team to win, beating the embattled Dolphins 22-19 with a strong defensive performance on night the franchise honored Hall of Famer Warren Sapp.

“A win cures everything. ... It’s good to get our first win, especially at home,” cornerback Darrelle Revis said. “It was an emotional game for us, and we knew the type of game it was going to be on Monday night as well. It’s great.”

The Dolphins (4-5) lost for the fifth time in six games.

In its first outing since allegations of bullying engulfed the locker room in controversy, Miami rallied from a 15-0 deficit to take the lead before rookie Mike Glennon led a long touchdown drive put the Bucs ahead for good.

Bobby Rainey’s 1-yard run capped an 80-yard drive, and Tampa Bay held on the final 10 minutes to win for only the second time in 15 games dating to last season.

The Bucs held fourth-quarter leads in four of their eight losses, losing each time in the final 89 seconds of regulation or overtime.

“It was rough. It was scary, I’m not going to lie,” linebacker Adam Heyward said, recalling the Bucs blew a 21-point lead before losing at Seattle eight days earlier.

Ryan Tannehill threw for 229 yards, including touchdowns of 6 and 19 yards to Rishard Matthews. But the second-year quarterback got no help from a running game that was limited to just 2 yards rushing.
