The Buccaneers, after trailing 14-3 in the first half, rallied to beat the Giants 25-23 on "Monday Night Football." Tampa Bay had to sweat to get its sixth win, as rookie defensive back Antoine Winfield Jr. broke up Daniel Jones' two-point pass that would have tied the game with 28 seconds left.
Tampa Bay parlayed two second-half interceptions of Jones into 10 points. Tom Brady's third quarter touchown pass to Rob Gronkowski gave the Buccaneers their first lead. Tampa Bay, after a Giants field goal, re-gained the lead on Brady's eight-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans with 9:02 left. The Giants' defense, which played well for most of the night, gave their team a chance to tie the score after holding the Buccaneers to a field goal on their next drive.
Jones, who engineered three Giants scoring drives earlier in the game, completed two clutch fourth down passes before hitting Golden Tate for an 18-yard score with 18 seconds left. Jones, who hit Dion Lewis for a touchdown in the first quarter, was unable to connect with Lewis again on the Giants' two-point attempt, as the Buccaneers escaped with their sixth win of the season.
