From the Buccaneers weekly

Third and fifteen at the Tampa Bay twenty-nine, four twenty-eight left in the third quarter, down seventeen to thirteen. Baker Mayfield hit Bucky Irving short right for fifteen yards and a first down, and a chop block brought it back: third and twenty-nine from the fifteen. Next snap, Mayfield went deep right to Chris Godwin for eighty-five yards and a touchdown that would have given Tampa Bay its first lead of the day. Holding, on Luke Goedeke. Third and thirty-six from the eight, a six-yard run, a punt. Tampa Bay lost to the Vikings twenty-three to sixteen at home, never led, and is oh and three. Its pass defense held Minnesota to the lowest success rate any defense has allowed in a game this season.
