Part 3/7:
Francesa emphasized the Giants' offensive struggles, where they could not manage to protect quarterback Tommy DeVito adequately. The defense, which had been expected to provide some level of support, failed to get the Buccaneers off the field on crucial third downs, allowing Tampa Bay to dominate. Mayfield, the Buccaneers’ quarterback, made the most of this, out-passing the Giants in a staggering split of 230 yards to just 31 by halftime.
