Giants vs. Buccaneers: 5 Things We Learned

The 20

15 season is already nine weeks old, and the NFC-East leading Giants still control their own destiny. Expected?

Maybe by some.

In this fashion? No. It never happens the way it’s expected to happen in the NFL, but fans will take it.

Sunday’s 32-18 win over the Buccaneers wasn’t a particularly impressive win, but a solid one nonetheless. Playing through some frustrating weather conditions, the Giants weren’t sharp but battled their way to win number five of 2015. Eli Manning hit a bunch of short-intermediate passes while the team’s running back committee churned out enough yards to 1) Score enough points and 2) Burn enough clock to keep Tampa from getting in any sort of offensive rhythm.
