• Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston was an absolute force against the Giants, when he was kept clean from pressure. Against no pressure – Winston completed 18-of-28 passes for 294 yards and all three of his touchdowns. He fielded an impressive 135.1 passer rating when not under duress.
• Bucs QB Jameis Winston saw terrific success hitting passes at both the intermediate and deep levels of the field against the Giants. On passes targeted 10-19 yards past the line of scrimmage, Winston finished the day completing 7-of-12 for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns. On deep passes, those targeted 20+ yards past the LOS, Winston finished 3-of-5 for 127 yards and another touchdown. He finished with a 143.8 passer rating on deep passes in Week 4.
• Bucs RB Jacquizz Rodgers was impressive against the Giants on Sunday, not going down on first contact hardly at all. He registered 56 of his 83 total yards after contact, averaging 3.50 yards after contact per attempt. He forced two missed tackles on his 16 carries – and saw great success running behind C Ali Marpet, registering 6 carries, 54 yards and 1 of his missed tackles forced when rushing to either side of Marpet.
• While the discussion may have been more about Mike Evans on Eli Apple, two other Bucs receiving targets had just an equally as impressive day as Evans, who did haul in both his targeted passes against Apple, including his score. Adam Humphries got the better of Giants CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, catching all four of his targets on DRC for 52 yards. TE Cameron Brate hauled in catches on four different defenders, including his 14-yard TD on former Bucs LB Jonathan Casillas.
• LT Donovan Smith got back to his second-half of 2016 form against the Giants, allowing just one QB pressure all day long. He showed great movement in pulling to the second level in the running game and did a great job in pass protection against the formidable duo of Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon.
