<p>TAMPA, Fla. — Myles Price returned a punt 86 yards for a score, Kyler Murray threw a 41-yard TD pass to Jordan Addison and the Minnesota Vikings beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-16 on Sunday.</p><p>It was a costly game for both teams.</p><p>Baker Mayfield hurt his thumb on a desperation pass late in the fourth quarter. He was screaming in pain on the ground before walking off and was replaced by rookie Jalon Daniels in the final minute.</p><p>Two-time All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson didn't return for Minnesota after injuring his right ankle in the first quarter.</p><p>The Vikings are 3-0 for the second time in three years. The Buccaneers are 0-3 for the first time since 2014, when they finished 2-14 and got the No. 1 overall draft pick, taking Jameis Winston.</p><p>Murray was 15 of 29 for 168 yards with one TD pass and one interception in his first full game with the Vikings. He sustained a concussion in the first quarter of the season opener and Carson Wentz led Minnesota to consecutive wins.</p><p>Mayfield hasn't played like a $55 million-a-year quarterback since the Buccaneers gave him a $165 million extension before the season. He was 17 of 34 for 217 yards with one TD and one interception, taking six sacks.</p><p>Tampa Bay's woeful offense couldn't do much against coordinator Brian Flores' defense.</p><p>Mayfield had an 85-yard touchdown pass to Chris Godwin Jr. on third-and-30 negated by a holding penalty on Luke Goedeke in the third quarter.</p><p>That summed up the offense's struggles.</p><p>Mayfield's 14-yard scramble on second-and-9 later was negated by a holding penalty on Payne Durham. But the Bucs got a first down on third-and-29 when Joshua Metellus hit Emeka Egbuka helmet-to-helmet. Again, the offense had to settle for a field goal. Chase McLauglin's 54-yarder cut it to 17-16.</p><p>Will Reichard's 56-yard field goal extended Minnesota's lead to 20-16 with 3:10 remaining. He added a 43-yarder to cap the scoring.</p><p>Murray connected with Addison on a deep throw on third-and-8 to give the Vikings a 17-10 lead in the second quarter. Addison beat Jacob Parrish in one-on-one coverage, making a smooth adjustment on the ball.</p><p>After A'Shawn Robinson intercepted Murray's pass to set up a first down at the Vikings 22 in the third quarter, the Bucs went nowhere. Bucky Irving ran 3 yards and then dropped a pass. Mayfield got sacked on third down and McLaughlin's 38-yarder cut it to 17-13.</p><p>The Buccaneers fell behind 10-0 after just one possession. Following a three-and-out, Price darted up the middle, cut to the right and sprinted down the sideline for his first career touchdown.</p><p>Mayfield fired a 40-yard TD pass down the seam to rookie Ted Hurst III to cut it to 10-7.</p><p>The Buccaneers had a first down at Minnesota's 7 after Mayfield and Cade Otton connected on a 37-yard pass. But consecutive holding penalties on Cody Mauch and Graham Barton derailed the drive and McLaughlin kicked a 28-yard field goal to tie it.</p><h3>Brotherly love</h3><p>Buccaneers left guard Ben Bredeson played against his younger brother, Vikings rookie fullback Max Bredeson.
