The Bucs' faint hopes of the playoffs were extinguished with a fortnight left in the season as Minnesota
completed a season sweep. Tommy Kramer completed 15 of his 19 second-half passes to lead the Vikings
from a 10-0 half-time deficit although the game was only secured when Ted Brown dashed 43 yards to set up
the final score inside the final two minutes.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS Click on the boxes to view the big plays
Another game where the Bucs took a 10-0 lead - this one thanks to Kevin House
Then it was just David Logan’s two sacks as highlights - here is the first
And the second from the sadly-departed Buccaneer nose tackle
