Benching Daniel Jones didn’t end the Giants’ losing streak, but it did help the Buccaneers put an end to theirs.
The Bucs ran for four touchdowns and shut the Tommy DeVito-led Giants offense out for the first 30 minutes of play at MetLife Stadium. The second half saw the Giants find some offensive momentum, but the game was already in Tampa’s pocket and it ended as a 30-7 Bucs win.
The victory came after four straight losses for the Bucs and it leaves them with a 5-6 record.
Baker Mayfield was 24-of-30 for 294 yards and he ran for a touchdown. Mayfield suffered a stinger in the fourth quarter, but returned to the game after a quick trip to the sideline medical tent.
DeVito was 21-of-31 for 189 yards and he ran seven times for 32 yards in his first start of the season. He also took some serious hits while being sacked four times, but only missed one snap after needing medical attention in the fourth quarter.
That should leave him on track to play against the Cowboys when the Giants try to end their six-game losing streak.
