Amid a dearth of touchdowns, kickers were key in the NFL's Week 10.
Doug Pelfrey's six field goals Sunday made the Cincinnati Bengals winners for the first time this season, 20-17 in overtime over the Seattle Seahawks.Pete Stoyanovich's kick in overtime lifted Miami over the Indianapolis Colts 22-21 after Dan Marino rallied the Dolphins.
Gary Anderson's 40-yarder for Pittsburgh in overtime beat the Houston Oilers 12-9.
Pelfrey, Stoyanovich and Anderson were heroes, but San Diego's John Carney and the Los Angeles Raiders' Jeff Jaeger wish they could do it over again.
Carney's miss on a 47-yarder with 8:01 remaining cost the Chargers, who lost 10-9 to Atlanta, while Jaeger missed twice in a 13-3 loss to Kansas City. Neither the Chargers nor the Raiders scored a touchdown.
