31 points. Five sacks. 144 yards on the ground. 6.8 yards per play. Four penalties for 30 yards. Over 33 minutes in time of possession. Eight plays of (20+) yards.
Sounds like the recipe for a Bucs’ win, right?
Ha. Actually, it’s not.
Especially when you combine those numbers with the following:
- 4 of 14 on third down for the Bucs (29%)
- Three missed kicks (two PATs and the game-winning field goal attempt)
- 1 for 2 in goal-to-go situations
- 6.4 yards per play allowed
- Four sacks allowed
- Five plays of (20+) yards for the Giants
For everything the Bucs did right, they did something wrong.
