It was not a pretty second half performance for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they saw their 18 point halftime lead dwindle in a 32-31 loss to the New York Giants and their rookie quarterback Daniel Jones. As a result, the pewter and red saw their standings in NFL Spin Zone’s power rankings fall from the 21st spot back to the 25th spot.
There is no doubt that a win against the defending NFC champion Los Angeles Rams would help the Bucs boost that rating, but after losing to a rookie quarterback in his first career start, and without their best player in Saquon Barkley, they deserved to see their ranking fall this week.
