Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Minnesota Vikings 21
Sunday 7 December 1980 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW Lindsey Nelson and Sonny Jorgensen
The Bucs' faint hopes of the playoffs were extinguished with a
fortnight left in the season as Minnesota completed a season
sweep. Tommy Kramer completed 15 of his 19 second-half
passes to lead the Vikings from a 10-0 half-time deficit although
the game was only secured when Ted Brown dashed 43 yards to
set up the final score inside the final two minutes.

The Bucs took a 10-0 lead - this one thanks to Kevin House
Then it was just David Logan’s two sacks as highlights - here is the first
And the second from the sadly-departed Buccaneer nose tackle
