3 keys for the Giants to take down Tom Brady and the Bucs

PRESSURE TOM BRADY

Leonard Williams and the Giants defensive line must make the seven-time Super Bowl winner uncomfortable in the pocket with Logan Ryan missing from a defense that already lost Blake Martinez earlier this season. Otherwise it will be a long day handling Mike Evans, Rob Gronkowski and Chris Godwin.

CONTROL THE CLOCK

Saquon Barkley has to provide a boost with Devontae Booker likely sidelined. The Giants have kept games close with a respectable running game and a defense that has prevented big plays. If they can’t run it, they won’t be able to hide their offensive line’s deficiencies.

PROTECT DANIEL JONES

Andrew Thomas’ return at left tackle has to help Jason Garrett dial up more plays down the field, as well. The Bucs are going to score points. They’ve scored 31 or more points four times this season. The Giants’ season high is 29. Jones’ offense has to score TDs to keep up.
