Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Minnesota Vikings 10
Sunday 18 October 1987 at Tampa Stadium
CBS COMMENTARY CREW James Brown and Dan Jiggetts
In front of the lowest crowd ever at Tampa Stadium, Kevin Walker
was named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week for his two
interceptions, one of which went back for a score, but this award
was for the whole defense. The Bucs forced seven sacks
including a franchise record-tying three by Calvin Turner, and four
interceptions. Arthur Wells recovered a fumble in the endzone to
put the Bucs 10-3 up early in the third quarter, and after Adams
had thrown a TD pass to tie the scores, Walker's second
interception of the game put the Bucs ahead to stay.
