The game, the only one in the National Football League Saturday, was played before a crowd of 66.272 partisan fans who came out to support the 0-16 second-year Bucs. With Tampa ahead 3-2 after a lackluster first half, Tarkenton engineered three key plays to come up with the game's only touchdown. The 37-yearold Tarkenton scrambled to get off a 28-yard pass to wide receiver Sammy White and another eight-yard toss to running back Sam Johnson to keep the 53-yard drive alive in the third quarter.

Minnesota's other two points came on a first half safety, while an 18-yard second-quarter field goal accounted for Tampa's only score of the game. The victory gave the Vikings, defending champs of the National Football Conference, a 1-1 record after a 16-10 opening loss to Dallas in overtime last week. The Bucs are 0-2 this year after losing 13-3 to Philadelphia a week ago. Tarkenton, a 17-year pro, completed 25 of 38 passes for 223 yards while Tampa's rookie quarterback Randy Hedberg completed 4 of 14 for 51 yards.
