Runs 2:53 | A 49-yard pass interference call against Detroit's Demetrious Johnson set up the winning 1-yard touchdown run by Larry Kinnebrew with 40 seconds remaining. "I don’t give a rip what the stats are," an animated coach Rogers said. "The only thing I'm, concerned about is the dumb game and we didn't win the stupid thing." Bengals James Brooks ran 15 times for 120 yards, but it was a 49-yard pass interference call again Detroit safety Demetrious Johnson that thurned the game around. "To loose a ball game on an officials call has always been a crime," Rogers said. "That last drive belonged to the guys in the stripes. I just feel very sad for our football team." "I don't know if that type of call should have been called in that type of situation," Johnson said. "The ball was in the air and I was just trying to get back to the ball. Detroit's Eric Hipple, who completed 23 of 33 passes for 287-yards, threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Leanard Thompson and flipped a 5-yard TD pass to newcomer Jimmie Giles, who was cut two weeks ago by the Tampa Bay Bucs.
