The "Vincredible" game. Vinny's best performance as a Buc missing only three passes and passing for 363 yards and two scores. Ricky Reynolds won the NFC Defensive Player of the Week award for returning a fumble for a score and snaring an interception, and rookie Santana Dotson had his second straight two-sack game to open his NFL career. This was also Brett Favre’s NFL debut and he completed his first pass to himself on a ball batted by the defensive line.
