Why the Buccaneers won
As the Giants chilled off, the Bucs warmed up, explicitly in all out attack mode side of the ball. Regardless of a moderate beginning, in which Tom Brady and Co. agreed to three straight handle objectives and couldn’t gather much with Ronald Jones on the ground, Bruce Arians’ crew streaked its weaponry – sans a harmed Chris Godwin and in-holding up Antonio Brown, recollect – barely.
Brady infrequently wowed yet made a huge showing spreading the ball everywhere on the field in the subsequent half, with eight unique targets pulling in any event two passes. Mike Evans came up huge with a feature reel score. Furthermore, Leonard Fournette ran hard in spite of simply normal numbers.

Why the Giants lost
As is frequently the situation while assessing Giants games, it’s difficult to state Daniel Jones was the main explanation New York lost, since he had some athletic and gutsy plays in key spots, pulling the G-Men inside two focuses on an exciting last drive. Very frequently, nonetheless, he was likewise the one keeping New York’s offense down.
Jason Garrett’s play-calling didn’t offer him a huge load of courtesies, yet Garrett likewise wasn’t answerable for by and large missing on a modest bunch of fully open profound shots, driving external tosses under tension and standing by too long to even consider delivering the potential game-tying two-point leave that finished behind fixing the Bucs’ success.
Once more, he was in good company; Garrett mysteriously called upon Alfred Morris for eight significant contacts, and Sterling Shepard seemed to misinterpret a future TD course. In any case, this wasn’t on the guard, which played extreme, got after Brady and held firm when it expected to. It was generally on a QB who streaked in any case neglected to do what’s needed of the easily overlooked details to merit the success.
Turning point

Tampa Bay continued to pull inside five on its next drive, at that point proceeded on its ensuing arrangement. The Giants in the end recaptured the lead, yet by that point, they’d just wasted an opportunity to go up enormous.
Play of the game
For as baffling as he seemed to be, Daniel Jones really made many pleasant tosses down the stretch, remembering for different third-and fourth-down spots. Be that as it may, the play of the day has a place with Mike Evans on the opposite side. For a major person, he moved and landed impeccably to make sure about Brady’s second TD of the night and put the Bucs up five late in the challenge.
What’s next
