EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -The New York Giants' running game has caught up with Eli Manning and the passing attack - and that's not good news for opposing defenses. If teams put eight defenders in the box to take away New York's ground attack, Manning has a bevy of young receivers at his disposal, including Steve Smith and Mario Manningham. If opponents try to take away the passing game, as Tampa Bay opted for on Sunday, the Giants have Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. The two combined for 196 of New |

Romo is coming off one of the weakest outings of his three-plus years as the Cowboys' starter, completing just 13-of-29 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions thrown in Dallas' 33-31 loss to the New York Giants last Sunday night. The outing helped ruin the first meaningful game in the history of the Cowboys new $1.1 billion home facility, and took away the steam of Dallas' season-opening victory over the Buccaneers (34-21).

Instead, the Bucs have struggled offensively this season and Sunday's 24-0 loss to the New York Giants was particularly ugly. Tampa Bay managed just five first downs, none in the first half, and totaled just 86 yards offensively. Leftwich completed just 7-of-16 passes for a mere 22 yards on Sunday, and for the season has connected on 54.2 percent of |

Morris, who will take his third shot at win number one as Tampa Bay head coach when the New York Giants visit Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, will have to get to 0-5 to match the start the Buccaneers got out to during Dungy's rookie season of 1996, though a loss on Sunday would indeed be evocative of the legendary coach's first weeks on the job.
