Packers Defense Falters In 34-20 Loss to Tampa Bay

Baker Mayfield is not a Pro Bowl Quarterback. But on Sunday at Lambeau he looked like one and had the stats to match. A 158.3 QB rating. Four touchdowns. No interceptions. He connected on 22-28 passes. He converted seven of eleven third downs and Tampa Bays only 4th down attempt. Tampa Bay was held to 99 yards rushing but averaged 3.7 a carry and repeatedly gained big chunks on second and long.

The lone highlight for the Packer defense was a first quarter strip/sack of Mayfield that led to 7 of Green Bay’s 20 points. The Packer defense forced one punt, had one turnover and five sacks, but gave up six scoring drives, including three touchdown drives in the second half.
