Buccaneers lose 32-18 to NY Giants

The game is a homecoming of sorts for Pierre-Paul, who played in college at South Florida. On the 68-yard first-quarter catch-and-run by Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans Casillas runs Evans down from behind, preventing a touchdown. “So offensively I thought we did a few good things in the first half, the second half was tough to get into rhythm, they did a good job changing a few things up, and playing us pretty well”, Manning said. Watch the replay and you see Moore take two full steps and then dive AFTER Winston has released the ball.

The exciting part for Tom Coughlin’s team is it has a legitimate shot to make the playoffs for the first time in four seasons.

The Giants are counting on this being only the beginning for Pierre-Paul, whose next step will come this Sunday at MetLife Stadium against Tom Brady and the undefeated reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots.

The NY Giants were able to pick up an extremely important victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend. NY quarterback Eli Manning was at his best in those pressure situations. He gets this “Kudos”, though for one absolutely incredible effort play. Verner also recorded an interception from the nickel position.

The Fox Sports story said that the flag is actually fire-retardant, which prevented it from going up in flames.

“Beckham’s 9-yard catch late in the fourth quarter of the Giants” 32-18 win over the Buccaneers will not make any highlight shows or win him any awards, but it was by far the biggest and most important of his nine catches – and 105 yards – on Sunday.

NY Giants wide receiver Rueben Randle (82) pulls in an 8-yard…

Pierre-Paul had two tackles and two quarterback hits in his first action since the July 4 fireworks accident that sidelined him for training camp and the first eight games. Tampa Bay drove 70 yards on their next drive to the Giants 10, and had to settle for another field goal, which made it 6-3 Tampa Bay.

After the Giants got burned by Brees, Rodgers-Cromartie didn’t feel things would be easier with Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston – rookie or not. “I’ve got to work on wet ball drills or something”. After beating Atlanta last week, the team stuck with the Giants, but just couldn’t finish. But the Giants held and made the Buccaneers settle for a field goal.

“It was wet, but it was humid, and I kept sweating through my gloves”, said Evans, who came into the game with the fourth-highest drop rate in the NFL (17.24 percent), according to Pro Football Focus. However, what should have been no more than an 8-yard gain turned into 59 because he broke through attempted tackles of third S Craig Dahl and then starting SS Brandon Meriweather before finding open field.
