The Bucs completed a sweep of the Vikings in Richard Williamson's first game as head coach. Vinny became
the first Buc QB to ever rush for 100 yards in a single game, 48 of them coming on one play, the longest run
by a Tampa passer ever beating Parnell Dickinson's 46-yard scramble from the 1976 expansion season. The
Bucs controlled the clock for over 36 minutes in spite of only gaining 13 first downs. Three lost Minnesota
fumbles and five interceptions helped of course too.
