description

Top-ranked offenses that somehow reach Week 9 with undefeated records are certainly worthy of respect, but in a must-win game, reigning Defensive Player of the Year Warren Sapp and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers weren’t even the slightest bit fearful. Quoted in saying that victory against Minnesota often comes down to “four or five plays,” Sapp offered one of the biggest ones during the opening drive, powering through the Vikings’ backfield for a tone-setting strip-sack. Dominant in Oct. 29, 2000’s high-profile NFC clash, Sapp paired his aforementioned fumble-forcing takedown with two tackles and a pass defended, as Tampa Bay cruised to a 41-13 victory.
