Giants Win in Tampa – Doug’s Sports Rap

The New York Giants scored enough points to come away with a 32-18 win against the Buccaneers on Sunday, keeping them a top of the NFC East.

Eli Manning (26 for 40 w/ 213 yards) threw two touchdown passes and the defense scored on a fumble with time running out.

I thought the return of DE Jason Pierre-Paul made a different in the pressure on the quarterback, and even though they didn't get a sack on Jameis Winston, they knocked him down several times.

Big Blue manage to execute a pretty good rushing game which kept drives alive, and the defense off the 82 degree field, running the ball 33 times for a total of 114 yards on the ground.

The Giants are still a banged up group, the latest casualty was DT Johnathan Hankins who left the game with a pectoral injury, joining CB Prince Amukamara, WR Victor Cruz, TE Larry Donnell, LB J.T. Thomas III, DB Leon McFadden, LB Uani 'Unga, and OL Bobby Hart.

The Giants are in first place by a game over the Eagles, and their schedule is not easy, they host the unbeaten Patriots on Sunday before a bye week.

The big question, can Eli match up with Tom Brady and his high scoring offense?

It should be a good game and you can catch all the action beginning with the pre-game show at 3:25pm on your station for New York Giants football, 991 the Whale.
