Tom Brady vs Giants
Tom Brady started the Week 8 fixture slow as he completed 10 of his 17 passes for 79 yards, leading to the Q2 sack. The former New England Patriots star did find his groove in the second half. He finished the game having completed 28 of his 40 passes for 279 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
Despite entering the game as touchdown-plus favourites, the Bucs soon found themselves chasing the game after a fumble from running back Ronald Jones set up the Giants' first touchdown of the game. The Bucs made a thrilling comeback in the second half, winning the third and fourth quarters, 9-3 and 10-6, respectively, to snatch the game at the death.
The win keeps the Buccaneers at the top of the NFC South with a 6-2 record and a three-game winning streak. The Buccaneers will host the New Orleans Saints next Sunday. Meanwhile, the Giants' bad start to the season extended to Week 8 as they find themselves bottom in the NFC East with a 1-7 record. The Giants will be at division rivals Washington Football Team next week.
