EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Eli Manning threw for 510 yards, and Andre Brown's 2-yard run with 31 seconds left lifted the New York Giants from a 14-point deficit to a wild 41-34 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

New York Giants' 41-34 win over the Tampa BayÂ
Buccaneers in Week 2 on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. ET.
Manning was the first-half goat and the second-half star in the second-best passing day in Giants history. His three first-half interceptions staked the Bucs (1-1) to an 11-point lead, and his monster second half helped the Super Bowl champions avoid a dreaded 0-2 start.
Manning threw touchdowns of 23 yards to Hakeem Nicks, 80 yards to Victor Cruz and 33 yards to Martellus Bennett with 3:59 to play to give New York a 34-27 lead.
Josh Freeman helped Tampa Bay tie the score with a 41-yard pass to Mike Williams, but Manning drove New York 80 yards in four plays.
