The Giants after being shutout against the 49ers a week ago looked to get their anemic offense on track. Unfortunatley they would have to do so against a very tough Bucs team that historically has given the Gmen fits in the past. Trailing 7-3 late in the first half the Giants looked to at the very least cut the Bucs lead to 1 point driving inside the 20 yard line but Brissett would be picked off for a pick 6 and now trail 14-3 at the half. The Bucs would take the ball on their first possesion of the 2nd half and run it down the Giants throat and Ronald Jones would score his 2nd TD of the game puting the in a deep hole now down 21-3. 

The Giants defense then took matters into their own hands as they made Jameis Winston uncomfortable as they were able to pick him off 3 times and also creating a sack fumble that the Giants recovered to make this a 21-19 game after 2 OBJ TD's with just 4 minutes left. The Bucs worked the ball down to the Giants 30 yard line with just over 2 minutes left but would shank the kick wide right giving the Giants great field position only down 2. After 2 drops on back to back plays by Beckham Brissett hit Evan Engram for a huge 21 yard catch setting the Giants up at the Bucs 31 yard line. The Bucs elected to not use timeouts as the Giants ran the ball inside the 15 yard line to setup a Rosas GW FG attempt which he nailed for a 22-21 victory.

The Giants move to 6-4 and setup a rematch against the Eagles next week with huge implications for the division.
