The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense picked up right where it left off before their bye week as they went into the Meadowlands and defeated the New York Giants 30-7 in a strong effort for the final push to make the playoffs.

The Buccaneers got Mike Evans back for the contest after missing three games with a hamstring injury and they got him involved early, but it was Baker Mayfield spreading the ball around to 11 different receivers that helped lead the team to victory. The running game was also as potent as ever as the Buccaneers set an NFL record with four different players reaching the end zone on running plays.

Tampa Bay was successful on meaningful downs going over 50% on third and 50% on fourth down and controlled the pace of the game as they were consistent throughout. Hot starts have become common for this Bucs' offense but they will want to figure out how to keep the gas on the pedal as they will likely need to down the stretch.

Here is how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive players graded out in their 30-7 victory over the New York Giants.
