Frustrations all around for Packers in first loss

 

The early 10-point lead turned out to be an aberration, and the Packers knew it.

The Buccaneers dominated from the second quarter on to post a convincing 38-10 triumph over the Packers at Raymond James Stadium and hand Green Bay its first loss of the season Sunday.

"Obviously that was a pretty frustrating day today," Head Coach Matt LaFleur said. "Got outcoached, got outplayed. Gotta give the Bucs all the credit in the world. They had a good game plan and really took is to us."

Even with scores on the first two possessions for a 10-0 lead, the Packers didn't exactly feel good. The offense wasn't in rhythm and was succeeding with off-schedule, extended plays.

Then quarterback Aaron Rodgers did what he almost never does – throw a pick-six. He said he missed his spot on a third-down sideline out to Davante Adams by about a foot to the inside.

Sitting on the short route, cornerback Jamel Dean snagged it and ran 32 yards untouched for just the third pick-six of Rodgers' career (and second at Tampa Bay, strangely enough).
