A 24-yard field goal by Green Bay’s Mason Crosby trimmed the Buccaneers’ lead to 14-10 but the Packers had to be frustrated when they couldn’t score a touchdown despite having first-and-goal at the Tampa Bay 6-yard line. Plus, Aaron Rodgers had three good opportunities to connect with his top target, Davante Adams.
At the start of the Packers' possession, the Buccaneers continued to hassle Aaron Rodgers in the pocket by blitzing a fifth pass rusher, although that put in motion a cat-and-mouse game, with Rodgers trying to find his hot receiver before the pass rush reached him. Sometimes that strategy did not work (Rodgers has been sacked twice and harried), but sometimes it did, like on the two receptions Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Davante Adams caught to extend the second-quarter drive.
