       TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Eli Manning and the New York Giants shrugged
       off a bad loss and stayed on top of the NFC East.
       Manning threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns, helping the
       first-place Giants rebound from last weekend's debacle at New
       Orleans with a 32-18 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on
       Sunday.
       Josh Brown booted four field goals for the Giants (5-4),
       including fourth-quarter kicks of 53 and 44 yards that gave New
       York some breathing room after the Bucs (3-5) pulled within two
       points. The victory on the heels of a 52-49 loss to the Saints
       moved New York back over .500.
       Manning threw first-half TD passes of 8 yards to Reuben Randle
       and 4 yards to Shane Vereen. The defense, bolstered by the
       return of Jason Pierre-Paul, did its part by keeping the Jameis
       Winston-led Tampa Bay offense out of the end zone until the
       rookie scrambled 10 yards for a TD that made it 20-18 with 9:25
       remaining.
       Winston's 2-point conversion pass to the rear of the end zone
       was caught out of bounds. The Giants sealed the victory with
       Brown's fourth field goal following a long, time-consuming
       drive, and Trevin Wade had a fumble recovery for a touchdown on
       the game's final play.
       Winston completed 19 of 36 passes for 247
       Winston's improved play key to Bucs' turnaround past 3 games The
       Associated Press yards. The rookie went a fourth straight game
       without a turnover, but running backs Doug Martin and Charles
       Sims hurt Tampa Bay's chances of winning consecutive games for
       the first time in two years by losing fumbles.
       A week after allowing 608 yards, including 505 yards and a
       record-tying seven touchdowns passing to Drew Brees, the NFL's
       last-ranked defense held the Bucs to three first-half field
       goals - one after Manning threw an interception on the first
       play of the game and another after Winston and Mike Evans teamed
       on a 68-yard catch and run to the New York 12.
       Evans had eight receptions for 150 yards, but also hurt the Bucs
       with several dropped passes.
