After a 1988 season in which he connected on 19 of 25 field goals and, for the first time, 100% of his extra point tries (21-21), Donald had his finest NFL season in 1989. Breaking his own single-season scoring record, he recorded 99 points by nailing 22 of 28 field goals. He is the third-leading scorer in Tampa Bay Buccaneers team history. Donald also hit five game-winning field goals either in the last 20 seconds of the game or in overtime, including three in 1988 alone.
