Irv Smith Jr. is officially playing for the Vikings, although it remains to be seen how big his role will be as he returns from a back injury. Kyle Rudolph (foot) is inactive, so the Vikings' only active tight ends are Smith and Tyler Conklin. K.J. Osborn is also inactive, meaning the Vikings will go with Ameer Abdullah and Chad Beebe as their returners.

For the Bucs, top cornerback Jamel Dean is inactive due to injury.

Live Updates

Third Quarter

Buccaneers 23, Vikings 6

10:14 – Things just keep getting worse for the Vikings. Tampa Bay moved the ball downfield with ease on the opening drive of the second half and takes a 23-6 lead on a Gronk touchdown (with a missed extra point of their own).

Second Quarter

Buccaneers 17, Vikings 6

0:00 – This game is crazy. The Vikings just got flagged for an extremely rare call, a defensive pass interference on a Hail Mary. Tampa Bay kicks the short field goal and extends its lead. They also get the ball to start the second half.

Buccaneers 14, Vikings 6

0:48 – The Buccaneers took advantage of some Vikings penalties to score again. A Harrison Smith personal foul call extended the drive and a DPI call on Jeff Gladney negated an interception and set up a Ronald Jones touchdown.

4:42 – Dan Bailey just missed again. I have no idea what Mike Zimmer was thinking sending him out for a 54-yard field goal, but it wasn't even remotely close. That's seven points left on the board.

Buccaneers 7, Vikings 6

7:48 – The Buccaneers' offense didn't stay down for long. Brady hits Scotty Miller for a 48-yard touchdown with Chris Jones in coverage and Tampa Bay takes the lead.

9:34 – Wow. The Vikings put together their second straight highly impressive drive, moving the ball down to the Tampa Bay 11, just to take a sack on third down and have Dan Bailey miss yet again. He's up to three missed extra points, a missed 50-yarder, and a missed 36-yarder over the past two games. The Vikings should be up 10-0, but it's still just 6-0 instead.

13:40 – Tom Brady looks awful so far. The 43-year-old legend has missed three open receivers so far. Tampa Bay has 24 yards through two drives and will punt.

Vikings 6, Buccaneers 0

14:17 – Dalvin Cook punches it in with some tough running to get the Vikings on the board. They're already at 75 rushing yards against a Bucs D that leads the NFL by allowing just 74.2 rushing yards per game. Dan Bailey missed his third extra point in the last two weeks, though.

First Quarter

0:00 – The Vikings are driving as the first quarter comes to an end. They've gone 79 yards and are down to the Tampa five yard-line.

7:46 – The Vikings come up with a stop on their first defensive possession, with Brady missing Gronkowski deep on third down.

10:55 – After moving the ball fairly well on the ground, the Vikings give up a sack to Shaq Barrett and are forced to punt.
