With another dominant win in the books for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it seems as if Brady and the gang have turned things around after coming out flat the past few games. Now that Rob Gronkowski is back in their rotation and ready to help them defend their title, the Bucs are once again looking like a lock for this year’s Super Bowl.
Granted they were playing a lowly Giants team that’s not likely to make the playoffs this season, but they still put on a show and lit up the scoreboard while dismantling New York on Monday night. As they return to full form and look to have another dominant season, we take a look at the biggest takeaways from the Buccaneers dominant Week 11 win over the Giants.
Buccaneers Week 11 Takeaways After Win Over Giants
Tampa Bay’s offense was firing on all cylinders
Now that Gronk is at full strength and back on the field for Tampa Bay, their offense looks absolutely unstoppable. Aside from Gronk’s return, the Bucs also got big performances from Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Leonard Fournette as they had a balanced attack on the ground and through the air against the Giants on Monday night.
With a deep and talented offense at his disposal, Tom Brady had another big game for Tampa Bay and was able to move the ball around with ease as the Bucs were running ramped against the Giants secondary in Week 11. Given all this team accomplished in just one season together, there’s no doubt that they’ll come through once again as they return to championship form and look to get back on track.
The Bucs defense shined big in Week 11
On Monday night, Sean Murphy-Bunting and Lavonte David led the way for Tampa Bay as they had another strong showing on defense during their Week 11 match-up with New York. Jamel Dean also stepped up for the Bucs and came away with some big hits during their blowout win. The key to their success last season was consistently great play from their defense. So if they want to repeat this success and get back to their winning ways, then this is an absolute must for them in the coming weeks.
Considering the strength of their remaining schedule, it will be vital for the Buccaneers to prevail defensively as they hope to gain home field advantage in this year’s playoffs. If they want to repeat as champions, then this is the level of production they’ll need from their top-notch defense for the rest of the season. In their relentless pursuit of another Super Bowl title, the Bucs will need their D to step up for them as they aim to stay in the upper echelon of the tight knit NFC playoff race.
So it can definitely be expected that they’ll have more dominant performances like they did tonight over the next few weeks. For the duration of the season, this dynamic Bucs D is set to create all kinds of miscues and headaches for opposing offenses on a weekly basis, and as we’ve learned in the past, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should never be written off.
