The New York Giants weren't kidding when they reiterated that they will continue to use a running back by committee. In their Week 9 32-18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, four different running backs had at least six carries.

Rashad Jennings led the way with 13 carries for 48 yards. Andre Williams added 30 yards on seven carries, Orleans Darkwa chipped in another 23 on six carries and Shane Vereen finished with 14 yards on six carries as well.

In total, the Giants finished with 114 rushing yards on 35 carries. Although their 3.5 yards per carry total wasn't impressive, the Giants were able to generate rushing yardage when it counted the most.

With 4:57 remaining in the game, and a 5-point lead, the Giants drove 54 yards in 4:34 to finish the game with a 44-yard field goal by placekicker Josh Brown. On that drive, the Giants ran the ball for 32 yards on seven carries, including one key first down run by Jennings.
