JENNINGS: 'This was a Zimmer win'

Greg Jennings scored the Vikings' only offensive touchdown Sunday and after the game said first-year coach Mike Zimmer is instilling a mind-set: "There's no quit. As a player, you never really credit the coach for a win, but I feel like this was a Zimmer win. He jumped on us to finish the last couple weeks. Last week, we came close but we didn't get it done. I look at him as a hard-nosed coach. He's going to get out of his players what he set out to get out of his players. He got it out of us today. We were able to finish."

MANO-A-MANO

Vikings RG Joe Berger vs. Bucs DT Gerald McCoy

McCoy agreed to a huge contract Saturday, then was limited by Berger — the third starter at right guard for the Vikings this season — to two assisted tackles and only a half-sack.

PLAY OF THE GAME

KATY 'BARR' THE DOOR

Bucs QB Mike Glennon (8) hit TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (87) on the first play from scrimmage in overtime. Vikings LB Anthony Barr (55) and S Harrison Smith (22) were in on the tackle, and Barr clawed the ball loose and returned it for the game-winning touchdown.

THE QUOTE

"It was just out. I saw the ball out – it was an opportunity. I had to seize it."

— Anthony Barr
