He became the first Buccaneer rookie tight end to score touchdowns in a single game. It wasn't over, however, until Williams' 27th carry, when he needed one yard and got 71.
CB Brian Kelly had two interceptions to key an impressive defense effort, which held Minnesota's high-powered offense out of the end zone for four
