Bucs coach Bruce Arians said that he took the delay-of-game penalty on purpose. "He's better back...the field is easier back 5 yards. No sense in hurrying. We wanted to move the ball over, put it in the middle and make it an easy field goal."

The Bucs' defense under Todd Bowles had quietly been the talk of the league through the first two weeks of the season. But today, in the second half alone, they surrendered 300 passing yards and three touchdowns to rookie Daniel Jones and allowed the Giants to come back from an 18-point deficit.

Three touchdown throws from Jameis Winston to Mike Evans in the first half. Granted it was against a weak Giants defense, but this is the most in-sync their passing game has looked this season. Important they can keep that going with the Rams on-deck next week.

Ronde Barber quickly heads from the booth downstairs to the field. His Ring of Honor induction ceremony is happening in moments.

Chris Godwin has caught a touchdown pass for two consecutive weeks. Can he make it three in a row? He's benefited from Mike Evans drawing double coverage.

Before Ronde Barber can be inducted into the Buccaneer Ring of Honor at halftime, he's gotta call a game for Fox. Rules are rules. This was just before he greeted Warren Sapp with a giant hug.

Stepbrothers fans will appreciate what the Bucs just broke their huddle with prior to taking the field: "F—- sh— up!"

Bucs coach Bruce Arians emphasized to players all week that they have to practice just as hard following a win as they do a loss. He's pleased with the way they responded with that. He still wants them to clean up the penalties and felt like they should have had two more touchdowns last week.

Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans stops for a selfie with a fan after his warmup. He's had a quiet first two weeks, but against a Giants' defense that has allowed an average of 321 passing yards — third-most in the league — today's a prime opportunity.

Bucs chief operating officer Brian Ford told me that the NFL's ban on pyrotechnics will not affect the firing of the cannons. He explained that the ban is on the field. "It does not affect the pirate ship," he said. So cannons will still fire.
Bucs LB White (knee) out for Giants game
Buccaneers linebacker Devin White was the fifth overall draft pick this year.
Jenna Laine ESPN Staff Writer
Bucs coach Bruce Arians has ruled out Devin White, Jamel Dean, Blaine Gabbert and Devante Bond for Sunday against the Giants. That's White in between Deone Bucannon and Lavonte David. Tough to see, but he's got a bulky brace on his left knee.
