Tom Brady will return to the Meadowlands wearing a different uniform, as he will lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into MetLife Stadium to take on Daniel Jones and the Giants. Before the Coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S., this was the game during which the Giants were (very fittingly) going to retire Eli Manning’s number. With a six-time Super Bowl champion under center and plenty of weapons for him to throw to, Bruce Arians has his most dynamic offense yet. In order for the Giants to have a chance of beating Brady for the first time since Super Bowl XLVI, they will need to contain his most dangerous target, Mike Evans. Offensively, the Giants are going to need Jones to have the type of electrifying performance that he did last year against Tampa Bay in his first NFL start. The Buccaneers have one of the best run defenses in the league, so it’ll be difficult for Jason Garrett to get Devonta Freeman going. The Giants’ defensive line must consistently put pressure on Brady and get him rattled in order to have any chance of pulling off an upset on Monday Night Football. Here are TGI’s keys to victory against Tampa Bay:
