At the start of this month, a Giants team sitting on one victory failed to beat the Buccaneers. But they came away from that game with something else accomplished.
"I think we gave the G.O.A.T. some issues there," safety Logan Ryan said.
He later said Tom Brady, a former teammate of Ryan’s with the Patriots, had in fact admitted to him that the Giants’ defense — in particular a secondary that has become adept at disguising its true intentions — had him deceived and confused.
