Vinny shook off the effect of the flu to lead a 14-play, 82-yard drive that included two fourth down conversions. The win was the second straight one-pointer the Bucs had played and should have been a lot more comfortable than it actually was. 10 of the 15 Buccaneer drives started in Phoenix territory, yet they only had one score from all that possession. Al Del Greco missed a 47-yarder as time expired.
