The Giants lacked any ounce of a spark in their blowout loss to the Bucs.
The New York Giants sought a desperate spark to salvage their lost season from further spiraling in the final seven games. Still, with their 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, it looked as if they couldn’t get a tiny flame to shoot out of the metaphorical lighter.
The run game had just 76 total yards and featured another untimely turnover by running back Tyrone Tracy in the red zone that forced him to the sidelines per head coach Brian Daboll’s decision. The franchise has said whatever they can to put lipstick on a pig, but their attempts to lower the temperature on the seats of their leadership are quickly waning. The team is now 2-9 heading into Thanksgiving when they’ll visit the Dallas Cowboys for the second divisional matchup. Frustrations are building, and they have taken sole possession of the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
A man who plays with fun and a lot of swag, Mayfield got the party started by commanding his huddle on a game-high 14-play drive that spanned 70 yards and over eight minutes of game clock and ended in a Sean Tucker touchdown for an early 7-0 advantage. It’s been such a comeback story for a former No. 1 overall pick who was once discarded for struggling to be the difference maker in Cleveland. After two other failed stops, he is now playing his best ball for Tampa Bay, hoping to lead them back into the postseason.East Rutherford, NJ -- November 24, 2024 -- Tampa celebrates a TD by Bucky Irving in the first half as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants. / Chris Pedota, NorthJersey.
They averaged 4.9 yards per carry by the end of the affair, but that number doesn’t reflect the constant gashes for 7-8 yards that defined the rushing response in the early quarters, including a 56-yard dash that was the longest of the game. The Buccaneers would tack on their fourth and final endzone visit with running back Rachaad White’s touchdown in the third quarter on their second-longest drive of the afternoon at 12 plays and 95 yards that started with the team backed up deep in their territory.
He was nearly single-handedly powering the Giants passing offense, holding at least five receptions and 66 yards with three touchdowns in his first four games to lead the NFL in both receptions and targets. DeVito’s defense found it difficult to establish any connection with any of his receivers in the first half.
During the postgame media availability, the star rookie showed clear frustrations with this trend coming off a few games with plenty of examples of him and fellow receivers being wide open and missed by the participating quarterback and seemingly went to throw shade at the coaching staff for the mishaps on the offense.The Giants need Nabers to do more if they want the offense to thrive on any given Sunday.
Still, the Buccaneers' big men kept the pocket clean for their starting quarterback to put on his passing clinic, which left the Giants defense with no sacks and just two total pressures, both coming on rare quarterback hits.
