The Tampa Bay Buccaneers opened the NFL season with a 20-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the Twin Cities. Former Iowa star T.J. Hockenson had eight receptions for the Vikings and says pressure by the Tampa defense was a key.

The Vikings need to bounce back in a hurry. They visit Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Tampa Bay tight end Ko Kieft, of Sioux Center, says this was a big win for the Bucs.

Kieft, who played college ball at Minnesota, had a lot of people in the Twin Cities watching him.

Kieft says he is living his dream playing in the N-F-L.
