Minnesota beat Tampa Bay 23-16, leaving the Buccaneers 0-3. Coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield dislocated his thumb on his final pass, an interception, and will get an MRI Monday. Jalon Daniels replaced him for 28 seconds and threw an interception.
Minnesota improved to 3-0. Tampa Bay surrendered an 86-yard punt-return touchdown, while a holding penalty wiped out an 85-yard Chris Godwin Jr. score. Jordan Addison's 41-yard touchdown catch put the Vikings ahead 17-10.
Tampa Bay has gone 2-10 in its past 12 games dating to last season. The report said a Mayfield absence could make a turnaround harder and that, without quick improvement, questions about Bowles could intensify.
