Bucs defense stops Giants short of first down. Fourth and 2 at Bucs' 35.

Important stop for the Bucs' defense to keep the Giants at 17 points. TB's offense badly needs a touchdown.
— Andrew Astleford (@aastleford) November 8, 2015
Bucs offense striking while the iron is hot.
Jameis Winston 25 yards to Mike Evans, who is now over 100 on the day. When you have that long to throw, good things happen.

Great play by Winston. Clean throw under pressure to the open man.

That is CB Alterraun Verner's first interception of the season, his third as a Buccaneer and the 14th of his career.
— Bucs Communications (@BuccaneersComms) November 8, 2015
Verner w/a HUGE pick on Eli there to stop the #Giants drive. #Bucs in business w/good field position, down just a score.
— Luke Easterling (@LukeEasterling) November 8, 2015
Bucs offense was forced to punt, oddly the first punt of the day, after a couple of drops from Mike Evans.
Martin gets the ball on second down and picks up five for a first down to the #Giants' 47.
— PewterReport (@PewterReport) November 8, 2015
Winston looks deep for Evans but can't connect in the end zone.
— PewterReport (@PewterReport) November 8, 2015
4th drop of the game for Mike Evans. He's caught just 6 passes and has been targeted 13 times. Not a good ratio.
— Kevin ODonnell Fox13 (@ODonnellFox13) November 8, 2015
But the Bucs defense returned the favor and forced the Giants first punt.
WOW! What a punt. 64 yards. Bucs have a long field starting at 13. 11:36 left. #NYGvsTB

The Bucs will have about 0:20 on the clock needing a touchdown and two-point conversion to tie… Doesn't work.
