Rachaad White's Touchdown Run Gives Bucs a 7-3 Lead

Bucs Take an Early Advantage Over the Vikings

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took an early lead over the Minnesota Vikings in their week 14 matchup thanks to a touchdown run by running back Rachaad White. White's score came in the first quarter and capped off a 10-play, 75-yard drive for the Buccaneers.

The Vikings had taken an early 3-0 lead on a field goal by Greg Joseph, but the Buccaneers responded with a drive that featured a mix of running and passing plays. White carried the ball five times for 34 yards on the drive, including the 1-yard touchdown run.

White's touchdown was his fifth of the season and gave the Buccaneers a 7-3 lead. The Vikings will have a chance to answer back on their next possession.

White's Performance This Season

White has been a key contributor to the Buccaneers' offense this season. In 13 games, he has rushed for 486 yards and five touchdowns. He has also caught 22 passes for 176 yards.

White's performance has been especially impressive in recent weeks. In the past three games, he has rushed for over 100 yards in each game. He is now the Buccaneers' leading rusher and is playing a key role in their playoff push.

The Buccaneers' Playoff Hopes

The Buccaneers are currently 7-6 and in the thick of the playoff race. They are currently tied for the second Wild Card spot in the NFC. A win over the Vikings would be a big step towards securing a playoff berth.

The Buccaneers have a tough schedule remaining, but they have shown that they are capable of beating anyone in the league. White has been a key part of their success and will need to continue to play well if the Buccaneers want to make a run in the playoffs.
