Giants-Buccaneers post-game quotebook: “We’re just playing better as a team.”

The New York Giants put together their first win streak of the season with a 38-35 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Big Blue improves to 3-7 on the season. Let’s take a look at what Giants players were saying following their third win of the season.

Eli Manning on the momentum this team has ...

“Yes, I think there is some excitement going around. It is good,” Manning said. “It is a good feeling to have in the locker room and you see some growth. You see the improvement. You see guys getting familiar with their spots and what they are doing. We never had a lot of screw ups, but it is just guys executing. The execution has been better and we are putting ourselves in better positions most of the time. We are not having the negative plays on first and second down. Still had some sacks on first and second down that hurt us a bit and pushed us back, but overall just executed better and put ourselves in better positions.”

Odell Beckham Jr. on whether he has seen a change in Manning’s play ...

“He’s always going to be Eli Manning, in my opinion,” Beckham said. “The offensive line is doing a good job at giving him some time, he’s striking them up. I don’t even know if he had an incompletion today or whatever the case is, but we’re just playing better as a team.”

Landon Collins on maintaining the positive vibes ...

“Honestly, we look at it as if we’re in every game,” Collins said. “Besides the Eagles game, we were in every game. We were one play away a lot of the time. One interception, one dropped pass, we look at it as that. We just gotta keep playing and we’ll turn it around eventually, and it looks like it is.”

Spencer Pulley on the success of the run game the past two weeks ...

“It’s something we looked at during the bye week as a group with the running backs, tight ends and everyone, and it’s something we really worked on,” Pulley said. “We’ve got a great quarterback, no doubt, but we don’t want to pass the ball 60 times in a game and drop back, it’s just us working together with Saquon (Barkley) and other backs, and just getting it done.”

Alec Ogletree on his interception returned for a touchdown ...

“I forgot what coverage we were in, but I saw Janoris kind of undercut the route,” Ogletree said. “I told him he should’ve caught it the first time. It would’ve been his pick, but he kind of bobbled it, and I was running to the ball and was able to get my hands on it and kind of scoop it, and get up. It was a good play, and it scored a touchdown for us.”
