The Green Bay Packers held off Tom Brady's late-game surge to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 14-12, in a defensive bout at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.
His favorite target on the day was rookie Romeo Doubs, who had the first touchdown catch of the game as well as 73 yards on eight catches. Doubs caught many short passes from Rodgers and used his speed to pick up extra yardage.
The Packers’ offense was clean in the first half but wasn’t the same in the second half as the Tampa Bay defense, the best unit in the league entering Week 3, stepped up. At one point, Rodgers was 0-for-8 on third downs until late in the fourth quarter when they finally picked one up.

Fournette had trouble getting it going on the ground, rushing 12 times for just 35 yards. But he did have five catches for 35 yards, a few of which came in the final drive to help set up the touchdown.
