Apart from Danielle Hunter — #99 — the Vikings’ pass rush didn’t do enough against Tampa Bay. Of course, not having Marcus Davenport — #0 — certainly didn’t help, but the point remains.
The secondary actually held up reasonably well against the talented twosome leading the Buccaneers’ aerial attack. Chris Godwin finished his day with 5 receptions for 51 scoreless yards whereas Mike Evans put together 6 receptions for 66 yards and a TD. Going into the game, basically any Vikings fan (and coach, for that matter) would have gladly accepted these outcomes.
