Kicking woes resurface as Bucs' blow 18-point lead in 32-31 loss to Giants

TAMPA, Fla. -- Just when it appeared that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' well-documented kicking woes were behind them, rookie Matt Gay missed a 34-yard field goal with :04 seconds left, giving the New York Giants a 32-31 win and dropping the Bucs to 1-2. Gay also missed an extra point attempt after the Bucs’ opening possession and had a blocked extra point at the end of the first quarter.

QB breakdown: Against a weak Giants’ defense that had given up the third-most passing yards in the league heading into Sunday’s game, quarterback Jameis Winston finally looked in-sync with his receivers and they were able to establish a rhythm in the passing game.
