Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 Minnesota Vikings 23
Sunday 15 November 1987 at The Metrodome
CBS COMMENTARY CREW James Brown and Dan Jiggetts
Steve DeBerg brought the Bucs back with the longest pass play
of the season to Phil Freeman, and then had Tampa inside
Viking territory in a bid for the winning TD but was picked off by
Wymon Henderson at the Minnesota 25-yard line. James
Wilder did not have a rushing attempt for the only time in his
Buc career. Ray Isom started his first game for the Bucs and
came up with an interception of Tommy Kramer.
