WHAT TO WATCH FOR
· With four touchdown passes in Week Seven, as compared to two for the Saints' Drew Brees, Buccaneers QB Tom Brady has leapt over Brees into the top spot on the NFL's all-time touchdown passes leaderboard. Brady heads into Week Eight with 559 scoring throws in the regular season, one more than Brady's 558. That top spot figures to be in contention every week for the remainder of the season, though Brees has one more game remaining than Brady. The Buccaneers face the Giants, who have allowed 12 touchdown passes in seven games. The Saints head to Chicago to face the Bears, who have given up six TD passes in seven games.
· OLB Jason Pierre-Paul moved into the top 10 on the Buccaneers' all-time sack list with his 1.5 sacks against Green Bay in Week Six, which gave him 26.5 since he arrived in Tampa. That ties Broderick Thomas for the ninth-most in team history, so one more would give him the ninth spot all alone. Two more would move him past Ronde Barber into eight place.
· The Buccaneers defense has held 13 straight opponents below 100 rushing yards, dating back to last season. If they can make it 14 against the Giants, that would tie for the second-longest such streak in the NFL since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. The Ravens also had a streak of 14 such outings across the 2000-01 seasons. The record since the merger is 15, by Philadelphia across the 1991-92 campaigns.
· Tampa Bay's defense has also intercepted at least one pass in six straight games, their longest run of games with picks since 2013. If a Buccaneer defender can snare an interception on Monday night and make it seven games in a row, that would be the longest streak for the franchise since a run that spanned the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008.
NOTABLY QUOTABLE
· Head Coach Bruce Arians on how the offensive line turned things around after a rough game in Chicago: "I think getting home from Chicago, watching the tape [and] knowing that, that's not what we're capable of [and] that's not who we are. We don't accept it. I think the players – I didn't really have to say a whole lot about it because they had already grilled themselves pretty hard and know that the standard is the standard. Now that we've played that way for a couple weeks, it's the standard. It really started on the practice field after Chicago. Just maintaining that standard now [and] getting ready each week."
· Quarterback Tom Brady on Mike Evans and the Buccaneers' skill-position players on offense: "I think our skill guys are doing an incredible job. Their attitude, their work ethic, their toughness – Mike, in my view, is one of the great players to play in the NFL. He's just spectacular. He's got an incredible skillset, his attitude [and] his production – I wish I could get him the ball more. When you have a guy like that, you want to find ways at every opportunity to get him the ball. He's doing a great job of getting open and he just has an incredible skillset."
· Tight end Rob Gronkowski on playing before a national audience in prime time: "You've got to basically prepare just like how you prepare for any other game. You can't think too much about it – you don't want to overthink the situation. It is a game of football, it's just at nighttime now. It's the prime-time game and you're the only game on. You just want to strap up, make sure you're ready to go and just prepare. If younger guys ask, [I'd tell them,] 'Don't overthink it too much. Prepare how you'd normally prepare, get yourself ready and just make sure you're ready throughout the week, so when the lights come on, you're just ready to go and you're ready to go play some football just like you have been at any other game.'"
· Inside linebacker Devin White on how he and Lavonte David are able to work together and both be productive in the middle of the Bucs' defense: "I think the number one thing for us is neither one of us is selfish. We don't care who [has] the hot hand, who's making the plays, who's pass-rushing them that day. It doesn't really matter. We just want to win football games. I think that's where it all starts at for us. I think the second thing is we're very similar in a lot of ways as far as attributes on the field. Speed, tackling, being able to pass rush, being able to hold running backs and tight ends – we do a great job of that. We're basically interchangeable, so having two of the same guys on the field that's playing well – that's a great thing to have. Especially if you're a defensive coordinator, having two of the same guys that's playing well and kind of have the same similarities. I think that's the number one thing, but I think us not being selfish is what helps us."
· Arians on how well Tom Brady is playing right now: He's fantastic. When we watched him last year, he could still make every single throw. He hasn't disappointed anybody in that regard. We have no concern about calling any kind of play from five yards to 60 yards. Just a matter of getting more comfortable each and every week and seeing his guys."
