The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a close and sloppy game to the New York Giants, keeping it close throughout but never quite keeping up with the Giants offensive output. The Giants won 32-18, though that score was inflated by a Giants touchdown on the Bucs' final desperation play of regulation. Two sloppy fumbles, a slew of Mike Evans drops alongside his massive production and inconsistent play in the secondary eventually cost Tampa Bay a winnable game despite solid play by Jameis Winston.
The Bucs struggled to run the ball all game, and Jameis Winston really only had Mike Evans to throw to.
