Top takeaways from Packers’ 14-12 win over Buccaneers in Week 3

The Packers displayed the height of the offense’s potential during a two-drive stretch to open the game against one of the NFL’s best defenses. Green Bay engineered scoring marches of 10 plays and 12 plays, gained 146 total yards, converted five third downs, hit eight different receivers in the passing game and scored touchdowns in the red zone on well-designed plays. Even on the third drive, the Packers marched 60 yards and had a chance to blow the game wide open before a turnover changed everything. Over the next eight drives, the Packers turned the ball once and punted seven times, including three times after three plays and three more after four plays. The final 10 third-down opportunities netted just one conversion. Sunday afternoon provided a glimpse of what the Packers could be at the heights of their powers, but also showed how difficult consistency is to achieve, especially for a young offense still finding its way early in the season.
