Vikings snip Bucs, go 5-0
By Dave Goldberg
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Unlike his
Tampa Bay counterpart,
Keyshawn Johnson, Randy Moss
doesn’t have to ask for the ball.
The Minnesota Vikings wide re
ceiver, who had his first big game
as a pro on a Monday night two
years ago, made a leaping catch of
a 41-vard TD pass from Daunte
Culpepper midway through the
fourth quarter to give the Vikings a
30-23 victory over Tampa Bay on
Monday night.
“Daunte doesn’t need that,”
Moss said when asked if he told
Culpepper to throw to him. “I
don’t have to keep emphasizing in
the huddle that I’ll be there.
Daunte makes the right reads.
That’s why he’s Daunte.”
The game could define the sea
son for both teams.
While the Vikings joined St.
Louis at 5-0 as the NFL's only two
unbeaten teams, it was the third
straight loss for Tampa Bay (3-3),
which entered the season as the
clear favorite to win the NFC Cen
tral. Although they won the divi
sion last season after starting 3-4,
they’re now 2 1/2 games behind
Minnesota.
“It’s huge,’ Culpepper said.
“You’d much rather be 5-0 and im
proving than 4-1.”
Moss was the difference — in
the spotlight again after making
his first national splash in a Mon
day night game in Green Bay two
years ago.
“Randy plays hard all the time,”
coach Dennis Green said. “Not just
on Monday night. He makes big
plays when you need them.”
The Vikings led for nearly the
entire game following Culpepper’s
27-yard scramble for a touchdown
24 seconds into the game after
Johnson fumbled a pass on the
Bucs’ first play from scrimmage.
But the Tampa Bay defense
gradually took control, despite an
other fumble that led to a Min
nesota touchdown. Then, early in
the fourth quarter, with the Bucs
trailing 20-16, Andre Hastings
fumbled a punt and set the Vikings
up at the Bucs’ 39.
On fourth down, the Vikings set
up for a 53-yard field-goal attempt.
But Warren Sapp, who blocked a
field-goal attempt in Washington
last week, blocked it; Donnie
Abraham picked up the ball and
raced 53 yards for the score to put
Tampa Bay up 23-20.
“When they went ahead, we
HAD to come to life,” Culpepper
said. “It was a do or die situation.”
And Culpepper, who finished
15-of-19 for 207 yards, came
through with Moss’ help.
First, he completed a 22-yard
pass to Moss on a third-and-10.
And then Moss, who had five
catches for 190 yards and two
touchdowns at Green Bay on Oct.
5,1998, came up big again.
On a first down from the Tampa
41, Culpepper dropped back and
threw the ball to the end zone.
Moss leaped into the air between
Abraham and John Lynch and
grabbed the ball for the score that
put the Vikings ahead 27-23.
“He just jumped and got it,” said
Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy,
who just shook his head and
smiled wryly after Moss made the
catch. “Our guys have to go up
and get it with them.”
But there were still 8:42 left.
The Bucs drove to the Minneso
ta 47. On a fourth-and-1, Shaun
King handed off to Mike Alstott,
who passed back across the field,
where third-string tight end Todd
Yoder was wide open. But the ball
was over his head and behind
him.
Minnesota then drove 51 yards
to set up Gary Anderson’s 19-yard
field goal that made it 30-23 with
59 seconds left.
Tampa Bay was lucky to be trail
ing by just seven points at half
time.
On the first official play from
scrimmage — the first actual play
was a penalty — Johnson fumbled
after catching a short pass from
King and Orlando Thomas recov
ered at the Bucs’ 27, setting up
Culpepper’s TD run.
The Bucs tied it on King’s 11
yard draw 11 minutes later, cap
ping a nine-play, 74-yard drive
that began when Lynch recovered
Culpepper’s fumble of a shotgun
snap.
Minnesota responded with 10
points in just over a minute.
First, Anderson kicked a 38
yard field goal. Then, Aaron Steck
er was stripped of the ball by kick
off man Mitch Berger, and Moe
Williams recovered at the Tampa
Bay 27, setting up a 26-yard TD
pass from Culpepper to tight end
John Davis.
Martin Gramatica’s 23-yard field
goal gave them a 17-10 lead at
halftime.
Anderson added a 42-yard field
goal on Minnesota’s first second
half possession to make it 20-10.
Gramatica cut it to 20-16 with
field goals of 33 and 35 yards, the
latter on a drive during which the
Bucs reached the Minnesota 2
only to be set back when King was
penalized 15 yards for throwing a
ball at John Randle after an abort
ed play.
But after Tampa’s big play, Moss
and Culpepper responded.
“We made too many mistakes,”
Dungy said. “To beat this team we
had to play a perfect game and we
didn’t.”
