Vinny led a 74-yard drive in the final 1:19 that culminated in Bruce Hill's 11-yard TD reception. The Vikings
had a chance to win it in overtime, but Paul Gruber partially blocked ex-Buc Donald Igwebuike's 48-yard
fieldgoal. Wayne Haddix then intercepted a deflected Rich Gannon pass, and Steve Christie kicked the game
winner with 5:49 left in overtime. Even the tying extra point had been a nervy one, as a holding penalty made
it equivalent to a 30-yarder for the Bucs' rookie kicker.
