Season Impact
Tampa Bay (5-6) keeps their playoff hopes alive in the NFC South. Their formula: protect Mayfield, establish the run, create turnovers.
New York (2-9) drops their sixth straight. Their vaunted pass rush disappeared when needed most. Major questions loom for the offseason.
Complete statistics from the Buccaneers’ dominant 30-7 victory over the Giants at MetLife Stadium confirm Tampa Bay has found its identity while New York continues searching for answers.
