Game Day Guide

Packers fans headed to Tampa should plan around a 1:00 p.m. EDT kickoff at Raymond James Stadium, with the most important logistics being parking, mobile tickets and a strict bag policy. The Buccaneers say parking lots open 3.5 hours before kickoff, day-of parking is cashless, and ride-share drop-off and pickup are at Steinbrenner Field, not next to the stadium. If you are staying in Green Bay, the useful game-day decision is where to watch: Johnsonville Tailgate Village at Lambeau Field is a current Packers viewing option, and Titletown remains an official Packers-branded place to monitor for road-game programming. For TV, the game is on FOX, with Packers radio streaming options also available through the team’s channels. View Game Day Guide

Final
Final score and recap
Green Bay Packers 17, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-14 on October 4, leaving Raymond James Stadium with a narrow Week 4 victory built on two touchdown passes, two defensive interceptions and productive special teams. Neither team scored in the first quarter. Green Bay then outscored Tampa Bay 10-7 in the second and 7-0 in the third, taking a 17-7 advantage into the fourth. The Buccaneers scored the only seven points of the final quarter, but the Packers’ earlier production held up. Jordan Love supplied the central offensive performance, completing 22 of 30 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns. He threw one interception but finished with a 98.9 passer rating and was not sacked. Those numbers were not explosive, but his 73.3% completion rate and two scoring throws gave Green Bay enough passing efficiency in a game decided by three points. Tampa Bay cornerback Jacob Parrish accounted for Love’s interception and added two passes defended, preventing the Packers from playing a completely clean game. Love’s touchdowns went to Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden. Kraft was Green Bay’s volume leader with six receptions on seven targets for 42 yards, including a 17-yard long reception. Golden caught three passes for 21 yards on seven targets. Christian Watson provided the most receiving yardage, catching all three of his targets for 47 yards and averaging 15.7 yards per reception. The distribution also included five catches for 36 yards by MarShawn Lloyd, two for 29 yards by Mark Redman and one for 19 yards by Jonnu Smith. The Packers’ rushing production was less consistent. Kaleb Johnson led the supplied Green Bay rushing lines with 42 yards on eight carries, including a 31-yard run, but he also lost a fumble. Chris Brooks gained 30 yards on four attempts, with 27 coming on his longest run, while Lloyd managed 13 yards on seven carries. Green Bay had no rushing touchdown among the listed players, putting more of the scoring responsibility on Love’s passing and the kicking game. Defensively, the Packers created two interceptions against Jalon Daniels. Edgerrin Cooper delivered the fullest stat line: nine tackles, one sack, one quarterback hit, one pass defended and an interception returned 18 yards. Evan Williams added seven tackles, a sack, two quarterback hits, two passes defended and the other interception. Xavier McKinney recorded Green Bay’s third sack, and Keisean Nixon contributed seven tackles, two passes defended and a tackle for loss. Green Bay’s pressure and ball production stand out because Love, by comparison, was not sacked. Tampa Bay still produced enough offense to keep the margin tight. Daniels completed 19 of 27 passes for 148 yards and one touchdown, but his two interceptions and three sacks taken weighed against that efficiency. He also rushed eight times for 55 yards. Bucky Irving carried 16 times for 61 yards, while Sean Tucker scored a rushing touchdown. In the passing game, Chris Godwin Jr. caught six passes for 31 yards, Cade Otton had four for 37, and Kenny Gainwell caught the Buccaneers’ touchdown pass among two receptions for 22 yards. Green Bay also received consequential production from its specialists. Rookie kicker Trey Smack made his only field-goal attempt from 58 yards and converted both extra points, accounting for five points in a three-point win. Punter Daniel Whelan averaged 45 yards on four punts, placed three inside the 20 and had no touchbacks, with a long of 61 yards. Tampa Bay’s Riley Dixon also punted four times but averaged 40 yards and did not place one inside the 20. The box score points to a balanced explanation for Green Bay’s win rather than one dominant phase. Love was more productive and efficient through the air than Daniels, the Packers intercepted two passes while keeping their quarterback free from sacks, and Smack supplied the field goal that separated the final scores. There were also clear areas for review: Green Bay scored nothing in the fourth quarter, threw an interception and lost a fumble, while Tampa Bay found meaningful rushing production from both Daniels and Irving. Even with those imperfections, the Packers combined enough passing efficiency, defensive disruption and special-teams execution to finish three points ahead.
- Jordan Love completed 22 of 30 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while taking no sacks in the 17-14 victory.
- Edgerrin Cooper and Evan Williams each recorded an interception and a sack as Green Bay held Jalon Daniels to 148 passing yards.
- Trey Smack made a 58-yard field goal and both extra points, while Daniel Whelan placed three of four punts inside the 20.
