The Tampa Bay Buccaneers jumped out to a 13-0 first-half lead and received 135 rushing yards from first-round pick Doug Martin to beat the Minnesota Vikings 36-17 on Thursday night.
Tampa Bay used a 28-yard field goal by Connor Barth and a 1-yard touchdown reception by fullback Erik Lorig to jump out to a 10-point lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Buccaneers defense forced a pair of turnovers, including a rare fumble by Adrian Peterson, to extend their lead.
Buccaneers defensive end Michael Bennett forced a fumble by Vikings receiver Jerome Simpson that was recovered by Mason Foster. Ten plays and 32 yards later, Barth connected from 40 yards out to extend the lead to 13-0. The Vikings would respond with a quick five-play, 80-yard drive that ended when Percy Harvin made a nice adjustment to haul in a pass from Christian Ponder for an 18-yard touchdown to put the Vikings on the scoreboard.
