Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Minnesota Vikings 49 Sunday 23 October 1988 at Tampa StadiumCBS COMMENTARY CREW Tim Brandt and Hank Stram
"Things fell apart early and then they got worse" said Ray Perkins. Vinny threw six picks to negate a 10-7 lead in the first quarter, and the Vikings rolled up seven touchdowns to walk away with this one with ease. "Vinny made mistakes" said the under-stating coach. "We played a bad game and so did he. He has to learn to take what the defense gives you."
