The Buccaneers dropped a lot of things during this game
but the end result was another game dropped in the
standings. The game itself was a lot closer than the score
indicated, the Giants adding a touchdown on the final play
of the game as the Bucs lateralled the ball around as time
expired. Jameis Winston played another turnover-free
game and scored on a highlight-reel diving run into the
endzone in the fourth quarter but the continued lack of
success of the pass defense and numerous drops by the
receivers cost the Bucs any chance of returning to the
.500 mark on the season. Connor Barth added four
fieldgoals for Tampa Bay whose fans were distinctly out-
numbered by blue-shirted Giants fans around the stadium.
