FreeVideoCoding.com

No were not talking about the 1977 at New Orleans game, that was the Bucs first win, but everyone knew the Bucs would win one, and the Saints were a losing team too. Even the win over St. Louis the last week of '77, the Cardinals were not playoff bound.

The first upset came when the 0-2 Bucs took on the Vikings in Minnesota. This was not the Metrodome Vikings, these were the Metropolitan Minnesota Vikings, played outdoors, rough conditions, Purple People eaters, won 10 division titles in 11 years, 4 Super Bowls during the Decade, and the Bucs went up there and won… by 6!

Watch the last effort by Tommy Kramer who came in for a benched Fran Tarkenton, and keep an eye on Bucs QB Doug Willams running out the clock BEFORE the kneel down  became envogue.
