Early offense, late defense aid Packers in huge win in Tampa
The Bucs started the game with the ball from their own 25-yard line. After a first-down completion to Breshad Perriman for 24 yards off a play-action pass, Tampa turned to Leonard Fournette for a first-down run. On 2nd-and-5, Fournette powered forward for 4 yards bringing up a 3rd-and-1. A Kenny Clark stuff of Fournette brought up a critical 4th-and-1 out of the gate, which Tampa Bay converted on a quick out to newly-acquired Cole Beasley, moving the chains. The ensuing first down was yet another completion, this time to the former Minnesota Viking, Kyle Rudolph for a gain of 11 and a first.
