Recap

The Minnesota Vikings did not need a smooth offensive afternoon to leave Raymond James Stadium with a 23-16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, September 27. An 86-yard punt-return touchdown gave Minnesota its early separation, and Will Reichard’s field goals from 56 and 43 yards put away a game that kept tightening in the fourth quarter.

Minnesota opened with an eight-play, 40-yard possession that lasted 4:34 and ended with Reichard’s 54-yard field goal. Tampa Bay then went three-and-out, and the return touchdown at 8:43 of the first quarter pushed the score to MIN 10, TB 0; Minnesota’s win probability jumped from 63.7% to 76.9% on that play.
