Matthew Golden scores fourth-down TD for 7-0 Packers lead
The Packers ran nine plays from the Tampa Bay 10-yard line or inside the 10.
The Green Bay Packers extended their lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to 7-0 early in the first half. The team executed nine plays from the Buccaneers' 10-yard line, converting two crucial fourth downs, one of which resulted in a 2-yard touchdown reception by Matthew Golden. Green Bay holds a 7-0 lead with 12 minutes and 54 seconds remaining on the clock.
At the Tampa Bay 10-yard line, the Packers faced a third-and-2 situation. MarShawn Lloyd gained one yard, followed by Tucker Kraft directly snapping the ball and advancing three yards. Chris Brooks then made a significant contribution with a three-yard run. However, Jordan Love faced two consecutive incompletions after that.
The Buccaneers' defense attempted to capitalize on the third-down throw to Golden, but Green Bay was awarded a defensive pass interference penalty. This reset the down sequence, allowing Brooks to lose two yards and Lloyd to lose three yards before Love completed a 4-yard pass to Lloyd, reaching the Tampa Bay 2-yard line. This setup ultimately led to Golden's fourth-down touchdown reception, extending Green Bay's lead to 7-0.
Golden, who did not score any touchdowns last season, has now scored two this season. In the current game, Kraft has three catches for 30 yards, while Brooks has accumulated 30 yards on four carries. Love has thrown for 45 yards on seven completions.
