After a much-needed bye week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dominated the New York Giants from start to finish, as they came out victorious in MetLife Stadium with a massive 30-7 victory over Brian Daboll’s squad. Tampa now gains ground on the division-leading Atlanta Falcons, as they stopped a four game skid and are now only a single game back in the NFC South race.
What are the numbers that defined Tampa’s victory?
4 – The Buccaneers had four different players notch rushing touchdowns on Sunday afternoon. Sean Tucker notched a score in the first quarter, Bucky Irving and Baker Mayfield each scored in the second quarter, and Rachaad White joined the party in the third quarter.
3 – The Buccaneers held the Giants scoreless through the first three quarters of the game. The Giants did not log a single touchdown until Devin Singletary ran the ball in from one yard out in the fourth quarter.
7 – The Giants only scored seven points, which is the first time since Week 10 in 2023 where the Bucs allowed single digit points.
11 – The Buccaneers had eleven different players catch a pass today. Of those eleven players, eight of them had exactly one reception.
6 – Both teams combined for six fumbles in today’s game. The Bucs fumbled four times, the Giants fumbled twice, and each team recorded a lost fumble.
0 – Despite going up against a strong Giants’ pass rush, Baker Mayfield was sacked zero times in today’s game.
2 – Chase McLaughlin missed the second extra point of his season near the end of the first half after Baker Mayfield’s rushing touchdown. The first of his missed extra points came in Week 4 against the Eagles.
56 – Bucky Irving ripped off a 56 yard run in the fourth quarter, which was the longest run of his career thus far.
