Ray Perkins' final game as head coach was a winning one as the Bucs opened up their offense to beat the
Falcons. Vinny threw a team-record 89-yarder to Willie Drewrey for one score, but it was with only 39 seconds
left, and after a 10-play, 74-yard drive, that Vinny hit Mark Carrier with the game winner from 35 yards out.
