The Bucs completed a sweep of the Vikings in Richard Williamson's first game as head coach. Vinny became the only Buc QB to ever rush for 100 yards in a single game, 48 of them coming on one play, the longest run by a Buc QB ever beating Parnell Dickinson's 46-yard scramble from the 1976 expansion season.
The Bucs controlled the clock for over 36 minutes in spite of only gaining 13 first downs. Three lost Minnesota fumbles and five interceptions helped of course too.
