Bucs preparing for visit from red-hot Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Gerald McCoy understands the difficult task facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense Sunday when New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will arrive at Raymond James Stadium.

But is McCoy intimated? Hardly.

"As a defensive lineman, to have a chance to play against a guy of Eli Manning's status, it's exciting to me," the Bucs' Pro Bowl defensive tackle said Thursday. "I don't know about everybody else. But you all know how I love this game, and I'm a fan of the game. So I'm going to do my best to try and get there [to sack him] instead of just enjoy playing against him.
