EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Defensive captain Dexter Lawrence II thought the New York Giants played "soft" in a 30-7 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium.

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers had a similar assessment after a game where he didn't get a target or touch in the first half.

"Soft as f---," he said in frustration.

Veteran offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor's assessment indicated a lack of overall effort.

"I personally don't think everybody is giving 100%," Eluemunor said.
