View from my living room: I switched between Bucs-Eagles and Dodgers-Giants Game 5 of NLDS. I've been a Giants fan since I was a little kid. My mom grew up in Manhattan when both teams were in New York and used to go see the Giants at the Polo Grounds.

Three stars
1. Bucs running back Leonard Fournette (127 total yards from scrimmage, 2 TDs)
2. Bucs quarterback Tom Brady (297 passing yards, 2 TDs, 1 interception)
3. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (2 rushing TDs, 1 passing)

Eagles' best play
Wide receiver Quez Watkins made a terrific grab in the first quarter, maintaining his focus after the ball was deflected by a Bucs defensive player.

Eagles' worst play
Linebacker Genard Avery was hit with a 15-yard taunting penalty during the Bucs' final drive in the fourth quarter.

Turning point
The Eagles trailed by six points and had a chance to get the ball back in the fourth quarter before Brady hit wide receiver Antonio Brown for a 27-yard gain on third-and-seven to essentially ice the win for the Bucs.
