| Minnesota QB Jeff George drove the Vikings to the Tampa Bay 25 in the final minute, but his pass on fourth-and-19 was incomplete, ending Minnesota's final chance. Even if the pass had been complete, it was still short of a first down. |
It's a three-way, Tampa Bay split: CB Donnie Abraham intercepted two passes, returning one 55 yards for a TD just 89 seconds in; LB Hardy Nickerson made 13 tackles; and NT Brad Culpepper had two sacks and terrorized George all night. |
