Baker Mayfield, Tommy DeVito Start in Giants-Bucs Matchup

In a Week 12 matchup, Baker Mayfield led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a strong performance against the New York Giants, completing 19 of 23 passes for 230 yards and showcasing his athleticism with a touchdown run where he leaped to score, taunting Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito in the process. DeVito, making his first start of the season after the Giants benched Daniel Jones, struggled significantly, resulting in a stalled offense that failed to capitalize on early opportunities. Despite DeVito's rough outing, the Giants' defense remains formidable, particularly their front seven, which is second in the league for sacks. The Buccaneers, bolstered by the return of key players like Mike Evans and cornerback Jamel Dean, are looking to build momentum in the second half of the season. Meanwhile, rookie wideout Malik Nabers has been a standout performer for the Giants, adding a dynamic threat to their offense. Overall, the Buccaneers' performance indicates a potential for a stronger offensive game moving forward, particularly with Evans back in the lineup.
