No compatible source was found for this media.

A difficult red zone matchup for the Green Bay Packers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense could be a determining factor in Sunday’s game at Lambeau Field.

Opponents have found success moving the ball on the Bucs, particularly through the air. Tampa will enter Sunday’s game allowing 7.2 yards per pass attempt, the fourth-most in football. As a result, opposing offenses are making their way to the red zone against Tampa 3.3 times per contest, the ninth-highest average in football.

However, once there, this Bucs’ defense has been one of the best at keeping teams out of the end zone.
