That was Tampa Bay’s situation as they took field for the opening series. Two runs, a sack, and a punt. Blessed by a third down drop, the Buccaneers’ defense got off the field, still the empty scoreboard. Tampa’s second drive was a slightly more productive rendezvous with a similar result— No points, Packer’s ball. Jalon Daniels’ first career completion would come on the game’s second drive but so would his second career interception. On a pass intended for Emeka Egbuka, Daniels instead found Evan Williams. Carrying their drive till the first quarter’s end, Green Bay began heating up and stacking positive plays. Second Quarter:At the start of the game’s second 15 minutes, Green Bay had the ball deep in Tampa territory. After a dropped touchdown pass, a pass interference on Jacob Parrish placed the ball at the one yard line— A sequence that Tampa’s defense managed to stretch out to a fourth and goal. That fourth down would be where Buccaneers’ fans would want to look away. Jordan love dropped back against a heavy blitz and found a very open Matthew Golden for game’s first points. 7-0, Packers. Two drives of ineffective offensive football later (Featuring a Cade Otton drop, something that feels like tradition by this point and startling Zyon McCollum praise when Jonathan Vilma mentioned that he regarded him as one of the league’s best corners)The Buccaneers’ next possession would officially end the missing persons case involving Sean Tucker.

Those opportunities were multiple and as has been the speculation of many, led to good things. Tucker ran hard, pushing his way for a conversion on fourth and short which he used to set himself for a touchdown— His first score of the season and Tampa’s first of the day. 7-7, evened up.With three minutes remaining in the first half, it seemed Zac Robinson remembered that the strength of Tampa Bay’s offense was projected to be its depth at receiver. Jalon Daniels was spotted actually targeting his top two receivers. A few catches by Godwin, and pass interference drawn by Emeka Egbuka and Tampa Bay was threatening points before the half. Unfortunately, that threat would turn out be empty. Jalon Daniels tossed his second interception of the game and set the Packers up for lead-taking 58 yard field goal before the half. Matching most of this season for the Bucs, Todd Bowles iced Trey Smack which took his miss off the board and gave him another swing, which Smack smacked through. 10-7, Packers.
