Buccaneers vs. Vikings: Everything You Need To Know

TAMPA, FL – After finally getting their season underway with a resounding 29-7 victory over the Chicago Bears, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will stay in their old stomping grounds when they face the Minnesota Vikings this week.

The Vikings started its year with an emphatic victory over the New Orleans Saints. But after starting quarterback Sam Bradford reported a knee injury right before Minnesota’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, backup quarterback Case Keenum could not keep pace in their 26-9 loss.

While Bradford could pose a much greater threat to the Buccaneers, Keenum seems to have Tampa Bay’s number. In an odd twist of fate, Keenum lead his former Rams team to victories over the Bucs twice in the last two years.
