Two classic Vinny interceptions, both run back for scores and both within 20 seconds of each other, ensured the Bucs would lose their fourth game in a row. This was James Wilder's last great game for the franchise as he gained over 100 yards receiving and caught two TD passes. Donald Igwebuike kicked a 50-yard plus fieldgoal for the 10th time in his career.
