The Tampa Bay Buccaneers home opener ended on a sour note as the Green Bay Packers held on for a 14-12 victory at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. In a matchup featuring two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks, it was the defenses that controlled the game. Tom Brady led the Bucs on a potential game-tying drive, throwing a touchdown to Russell Gage with 14 seconds left. Unfortunately, the Bucs failed to convert the two-point conversion attempt, and Green Bay went on to secure the win.
The Buccaneer defense was the top-ranked unit in the NFL entering week three.
