Jason Pierre-Paul makes debut with NY Giants after fireworks accident

Despite this unbelievable run to make things interesting, the Buccaneers could not come out on the winning end in this one. NY quarterback Eli Manning was at his best in those pressure situations. The victory on the heels of a 52-49 loss to the Saints moved NFC East-leading NY back over.500. Linebacker Jasper Brinkley recovered the ball at the Tampa Bay 28-yard line and Manning eventually hit Shane Vereen for a four-yard touchdown. 

Before we look at that game, let's take a look at the game they played with the Buccaneers. "We needed a drive at the very end and we were able to get it", Manning said.

Winston completed 19 of 36 passes for 249 yards with no touchdowns, but was the victim of at least eight drops - which would've put him close 400 yards.

Tampa Police arrested NY Giants fan Daniel Justin Raboni, 32, at One Buccaneer Place at 7.30 p.m. the same day. "Just being with my teammates and help them win the game, I felt great", Pierre-Paul said.

Pierre-Paul, 26, lost nearly all of his index finger and damaged his thumb and middle finger on his right hand during an annual tradition on the Fourth of July.

The defense welcomed back Jason Pierre-Paul, the defensive end was effective in energizing the unit.

Raboni traveled to the Buccaneers' headquarters, a mile from Raymond James Stadium, where he attempted to set the team's 80-by-50-foot, $26,000 flag on fire.

He played extensively in the return, recording two solo tackles, as well as two of the team's nine quarterback hits on No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (4-4): Although bested by Brees on the scoreboard, Eli Manning's career-high six-touchdown performance drew rave reviews - with three of those scores ending up in the hands of Odell Beckham Jr.

"When you have an opportunity to win and you lose it based on things you did, correctable things, it's disappointing", Smith said. Tampa Bay S Bradley McDougald (concussion) and G Ali Marpet (ankle) also were injured during the first half and did not return. He lost the Super Bowl there with the Cardinals, but since is 2-0, beating the Bucs with Philadelphia and now the Giants. Before the half, Tampa Bay got it deep into Giants territory, driving down to the three yard line.
