This was 1991's annual live game on Armed Forces Radio as part of ESPN's Sunday night Game of the Week.
The Bucs were 20-3 down but couldn't get any closer than Vinny's late strike to Mark Carrier to pull within two.
Neither team committed a turnover, the first time this had happened in a Bucs' game since Week 2 of the 1984
season in New Orleans.
