TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Battle of the Bays features two struggling teams searching for an identity and a win.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3) need a victory even more than the Green Bay Packers (1-2) on Sunday. They’re trying to avoid an 0-4 start because only one team in NFL history — the 1992 Chargers — overcame that to make the playoffs.

But 1-3 isn’t much better so there’s plenty of urgency for the Packers, who were booed at Lambeau Field following an embarrassing loss to Atlanta in their home opener last Thursday.

At least Green Bay has quarterback Jordan Love. Tampa Bay is turning to undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels after Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb in a loss to Minnesota.

“For us, it’s just trying to get a win,” Bucs coach Todd Bowles said. "(Jalon Daniels) is not playing by himself. Everybody has to do their job. We’ve got to coach it the right way on both sides of the ball, including special teams. He’s got to play and just do his job. We’ve got 21 other guys that (are) going to be out there playing with him, so he’s not by himself. It’s (a) nervous (feeling) but it’s exciting at the same time because you get to see somebody play. No matter where you come from, your first NFL game has to come at some point, whether you’re a first-round pick or whether you’re a free agent. You’ve got to touch the field for the first time at some point, and then you’ve got to play. He’s just got to play.”

While the Buccaneers have a new quarterback, Love will have new faces blocking for him. The Packers have had to revamp their offensive line because of several injuries. They signed veteran guards Kevin Zeitler, Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton this week.

“It’s just a matter getting to work, seeing how fast those guys can pick up the offense,” Love said of the recent additions. “I think at the end of the day, putting the best five out there and there’s always going to be some competition in those positions, so do whatever the team feels best at that position.”

EMBARRASSING HOME-OPENING LOSS EXPOSES LACK OF RUSHING ATTACK

 

Green Bay’s most lopsided home loss in eight years underscored how the Packers must establish some semblance of a rushing attack to have any hope of competing for a fourth straight playoff berth.

“We’re going to get it going,” right tackle Anthony Belton said after the Packers were outrushed 242-17 and outscored 35-14 by the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. “That’s all I’ve got to say about it.”

They haven’t done so thus far.

Green Bay’s 146 rushing yards are the fewest in franchise history through the first three games of a season, according to Sportradar. The last time any NFL team had such a low rushing total three games into a season was in 2019, when Cincinnati, Miami and Washington all had fewer than 146 yards.

The Packers (1-2) are missing three-time Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs, who was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list after he pleaded no contest two weeks ago to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property stemming from a May altercation with his then-girlfriend.

It might not have mattered who was in the backfield for Green Bay. An offensive line decimated by multiple injuries couldn’t create running room for anyone.

Green Bay’s nine rushing attempts represented the second-lowest total in franchise history, only behind a 24-14 loss to Miami in 1994 in which the Packers ran the ball just seven times. The Packers’ 17 yards rushing matched their third-lowest single game total ever.

The Packers have just 48 carries so far this year, their fewest through the first three weeks of a season since 1994, according to Sportradar.

“We’ve got to continue to work with these guys and try to figure out what we do well, because right now, I don’t know what we’re doing well offensively,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.

Atlanta snapped Green Bay’s string of 13 straight home-opening victories. This marked the Packers’ worst home loss since the Detroit Lions hammered them 31-0 in their 2018 season finale, Green Bay’s last game before LaFleur’s arrival.

Green Bay’s inability to run the ball isn’t a new problem. Even with Jacobs on the field last year, the Packers gained just 4.1 yards per carry, their lowest single-season average since 2012.

Since then, the Packers allowed left tackle Rasheed Walker to depart via free agency and released veteran lineman Elgton Jenkins, a two-time Pro Bowl guard who moved to center last year and played just nine games before an injury shut him down.

Green Bay’s offensive line took a couple more hits when right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele tore his patellar tendon and left guard Aaron Banks injured a toe in a 20-17 overtime victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. Banks didn’t play Thursday, and Bako-Bewele will miss the rest of the season.

That left a makeshift line trying to create running room for MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson, who had a combined 34 career carries before this season.

Neither Lloyd nor Johnson did much with the few running lanes that Green Bay’s line created. They remain hopeful they can turn this around.

“I think we definitely can do it,” Lloyd said. “We’ve just got to put our foot on the gas and go for it.”

WHAT’S WORKING

Not much. Daniel Whelan landed four of his five punts inside Atlanta’s 20-yard line.

WHAT NEEDS HELP

Take your pick. The Packers’ rushing woes are obvious. A defense that had given up just 2.9 yards per carry in its first two games allowed Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson to run for 194 yards. The secondary couldn’t cover Drake London, who had 194 yards receiving. On special teams, Trey Smack had a potential tying 47-yard field-goal attempt blocked in the second quarter. Green Bay cut its penalty totals to six – the Packers had totaled a league-high 26 in their first two games - but one was an unnecessary roughness call on Brenton Cox Jr. that kept alive an Atlanta touchdown drive.

STOCK UP

WR Christian Watson had his fourth touchdown catch of the season… WR Matthew Golden had five receptions for a career-high 100 yards.

STOCK DOWN

The entire starting offensive line featuring LT Jordan Morgan, LG Jager Burton, C Sean Rhyan, RG Jacob Monk and Belton struggled. Burton, a rookie fifth-round pick, was making his first start… QB Jordan Love is completing just 52.4% of his passes… Lloyd has just 68 yards rushing on 23 carries this season… Johnson has only 38 yards on 12 rushes… TE Tucker Kraft was targeted eight times but had just four catches for 26 yards.

INJURIES

LB Edgerrin Cooper was evaluated for a concussion in the second half. Monk left with a quadriceps injury late in the fourth quarter.

KEY NUMBER

17 — This 35-14 home-opening loss to Atlanta followed a 41-24 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens in the Packers’ 2025 home finale. This is only the third time the Packers have lost by at least 17 points in back-to-back games at Lambeau Field. The other instances came in 2006 and in 1986-87 (the Packers’ final home game in 1986 and home opener in 1987).

KEY MATCHUP

Packers wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden vs. Buccaneers cornerbacks Zyon McCollum, Jacob Parrish and Benjamin Morrison. McCollum has allowed a passer rating of just 69.3 in the first three games. He’ll be tested by Watson, who has 17 catches for 284 yards and four TDs.

STATS AND STUFF

— Packers QB Jordan Love has 89 TD passes, tied with Tobin Rote for No. 5 in team history. Love has thrown multiple TD passes in each of the first three games, the first Packers QB to do so since Aaron Rodgers in 2020.

— WR Christian Watson is the first Packers player with a TD catch in each of the first three games of the season since Davante Adams in 2018. Watson is the first Packers player with four TD receptions in the first three games since Jordy Nelson in 2016.

— Watson is the first Packers player with 15-plus catches, 275-plus receiving yards and four-plus receiving TDs in the first three games of the season since WR James Lofton in 1983.

— Safety Xavier McKinney had his 20th career interception last week.

— Packers punter Daniel Whelan placed four punts inside the 20-yard line last week.

— The Buccaneers are 0-3 for the first time since 2014.

— Jalon Daniels will be the first backup quarterback to start for Tampa Bay since Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2018.

— The Buccaneers allowed 230 total yards against Minnesota on Sunday, their fewest allowed in a game this season and the second-fewest overall since the start of the 2025 season.

— WR Ted Hurst III had a 40-yard touchdown reception vs. Minnesota for his first career score.

— OLB David Walker has two sacks in his first three career games.

— Kicker Chase McLaughlin is 9 for 9 this season. He leads the NFL with 14 field goals of at least 50 yards since 2025.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Michael Penix Jr.'s return comes at a time when the winless Atlanta Falcons need someone to provide a jolt for their lifeless offense.

Atlanta’s offense couldn’t reach the red zone as the Falcons opened the season with losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers. The Falcons were the first team since the Rams in 2008 not to run any plays from inside an opponent’s 20-yard line through the first two games of a season.

Penix now is back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The 26-year-old quarterback is ready to play his first game since Nov. 16 on Thursday night as the Falcons visit the Green Bay Packers. “I’ve been working extremely hard to get to this point,” Penix said. “Man, this has been a long journey.”

Atlanta (0-2) needs the boost that Penix will try to provide. Cooper Rush and Jack Strand threw a combined five interceptions with one touchdown pass — a 23-yarder from Rush to Bijan Robinson in Week 1 — while Penix worked his way back.

The Packers expect to face a more capable Atlanta offense now that Penix is back.

“He’s a quarterback that’s gone in there and played really solid football,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “So I would bet that their offense is going to look a little bit different Thursday night.”

Green Bay (1-1) has concerns of its own.

All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons is recovering from a torn ACL and running back Josh Jacobs remains on the commissioner’s exempt list. Wide receiver Jayden Reed and offensive tackle Zach Bako-Bewele were carted off the field during the Packers’ 20-17 overtime victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.

Bako-Bewele tore his patellar tendon and will miss the rest of the season. Reed’s potential return from a neck injury is unknown. The injury to Bako-Bewele creates more adversity for an offensive line that hasn’t established a rhythm yet. Left guard Aaron Banks also won’t be available Thursday because of knee and toe issues.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love says all those injuries up front shouldn’t change the expectations. “I expect those guys to go out there and put their best foot forward and give me time to be able to go out there and try dicing a defense up,” Love said. “That’s the expectations, whoever’s out there. Nothing changes.”

THE FALCONS PACKERS SERIES

• Green Bay averaged 34.4 points while winning the first five games of the series, with the first coming in 1966 en route to becoming the first Super Bowl champions.

• In February 1992, Atlanta traded QB Brett Favre to Green Bay after drafting him in the second round (33rd overall) of the 1991 NFL Draft. Favre would go on to go 4-3 against the Falcons while with the Packers, including a 37-20 win in a 1995 NFC Wild Card contest.

•  The Packers and Falcons have met in the postseason four times, with the Falcons winning the last playoff matchup in the NFC title game on Jan. 22, 2017, 44-21.

MATCHUP TO WATCH

RB Bijan Robinson vs. Packers’ run defense: After earning All-Pro honors last season, Robinson has rushed for 155 yards on 37 carries through Atlanta’s first two games this season. Green Bay is allowing just 2.85 yards per carry. Only the Los Angeles Chargers are giving up fewer yards per rush.

STATS AND STUFF

— Robinson is the third-youngest player in NFL history to have at least 4,000 rushing yards (4,065) and 200 receptions (209) at 24 years, 233 days. Only Hall of Famers Edgerrin James (24 years, 129 days) and LaDainian Tomlinson (24 years, 160 days) were younger when reaching those marks.

— Robinson reached 4,000 yards in 53 games, the fewest games to that milestone in team history. William Andrews reached the mark in 54 games.

— Falcons WR Drake London reached 4,000 receiving yards (4,041) in 64 games. Only Julio Jones (47) and Andre Rison (62) reached 4,000 receiving yards in fewer games in Falcons history.

— The Falcons rank last in the league with 123.5 passing yards per game, 31st with 8.0 points per game and 29th with 262 total yards per game.

— Atlanta’s minus-6 turnover margin ranks last in the league.

— Atlanta edge rusher Za’Darius Smith, who played for Green Bay from 2019-21, has 2½ sacks in his first two games with the Falcons.

— The Packers are seeking to win their home opener for a 14th straight year, which would set an NFL record. The Packers are currently tied for the longest such streak with the Miami Dolphins, who won 13 straight home openers from 1976-88.

— The Packers rank last in the league in third down conversion rate (19.1%).

— Green Bay has committed the most penalties (26) for the most yards (231) of any NFL team.

— Packers WR Christian Watson has three touchdown catches in Green Bay’s first two games.

— Packers DL Lukas Van Ness and LB Edgerrin Cooper each have at least one sack in each of Green Bay’s first two games.

— Packers WR/KR Skyy Moore totaled 208 yards on returns (116 on kickoffs, 92 on punts) against the Jets. That’s the highest single-game total by any Packer since Will Blackmon had 209 against New Orleans in 2008.

WHAT’S WORKING

After getting outscored 90-15 in the fourth quarter and overtime of a six-game skid that began last season, the Packers showed they could finish by scoring the final 13 points in a come-from-behind victory Sunday… Special teams made a big difference, with Skyy Moore’s 63-yard punt return setting up Trey Smack’s tying 34-yard field goal in the fourth quarter before Smack won the game with a 26-yarder in overtime. Moore and Smack both received game balls… The Packers sacked Geno Smith four times and have totaled seven sacks in their first two games… Green Bay’s defense is allowing just 3.9 yards per play to rank second in the NFL, behind only Seattle… The Packers are allowing just 2.9 yards per rush.

WHAT NEEDS HELP

The Packers went 1 of 9 on third down situations after going 3 of 12 at Minnesota. Their third down conversion rate of 19.1% is the worst in the league… The Packers also rank last in the NFL in yards rushing per game (64.5) and were 29th in yards per carry (3.3).

STOCK UP

Edge rusher Lukas Van Ness has 2½ sacks in Green Bay’s first two games. He totaled just 4½ sacks in 26 regular-season games from 2024-25… Moore had a 43-yard kickoff return to go along with his 63-yard punt return… LB Edgerrin Cooper has a sack in each of Green Bay’s first two games.

STOCK DOWN

LT Jordan Morgan was penalized twice, though one was declined… RT Anthony Belton took over for the injured Zach Bako-Bewele and was called for holding twice… CB Keisean Nixon committed two pass interference penalties, though one was declined.

INJURIES

WR Jayden Reed and Bako-Bewele were carted off the field on consecutive plays during Green Bay’s opening drive. Reed injured his neck and was hospitalized overnight, though the Packers reported after Sunday’s game that he had movement in his extremities and he posted on X that he was “doing much better.” Bako-Bewele hurt his knee, and LaFleur said after the game that “I think he could be out for a long time.”

LG Aaron Banks left with a toe injury. Donovan Jennings took over for Banks before leaving with a hand issue. LaFleur said Green Bay’s offensive line was decimated to such an extent that the Packers briefly discussed the possibility of playing TE Tucker Kraft at tackle.

KEY NUMBER

19 — Games in which Love has thrown multiple touchdown passes without an interception. Love made his 50th start Sunday. The only player to have more games with multiple touchdown passes and no interceptions in his first 50 starts was Patrick Mahomes with 22.

THE PACKERS-JETS SERIES

• The teams first met in the 1973 season opener, a 23-7 Green Bay victory in Milwaukee. Since then, the Jets have won nine of 13.

• The Packers and Jets combined to win the first three Super Bowls in NFL history, with Green Bay winning the first two and the Jets winning Super Bowl III.

• The only shutout in the series occurred on Oct. 31, 2010, as the Packers won, 9-0, their first road shutout since 1991.

• The Jets own the longest winning streak in the series, winning five consecutive games from 1979-91.

PACKERS KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH

QB Jordan Love must bounce back after facing heavy pressure and hits in Week 1. RB MarShawn Lloyd is the key piece in the backfield looking to improve ground efficiency and ball security. EDGE Lukas Van Ness is listed as questionable with a concussion; his presence is vital against a run-heavy Jets attack. EDGE Barryn Sorrell has been cleared from a foot issue, and is positioned for an expanded snap count on the edge. S Xavier McKinney anchors the secondary and communication against play-action and multi-tight end sets.

JETS PLAYER TO WATCH 

QB Geno Smith managed a clean game in Week 1 (19-of-24, 215 yards, 0 turnovers) and brings a historical 4-0 record against Packers coordinator Jonathan Gannon. EDGE David Bailey — a rookie standout who recorded his first NFL sack and a team-high six pressures in the opener — to be tasked with collapsing the pocket on Jordan Love. RB Breece Hall secured his first 100-yard game of the season in Week 1 and serves as the anchor of the Jets' rushing attack. EDGE Will McDonald IV has been cleared to play despite an ankle issue; expected to combine with Bailey to pressure Green Bay's tackles. WR Garrett Wilson serves as Smith’s primary downfield target in the passing game.

KEY MATCHUP 

The Jets ground game vs. Packers defense — New York RBs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen look to challenge Green Bay's front seven after a strong performance against the Tennessee Titans.

KEY INJURIES

GREEN BAY — DT Warren Brinson (Calf) Out, DT Javon Hargrave (Knee/ Concussion) Doubtful, EDGE Lukas Van Ness (Concussion) Questionable, OG Aaron Banks (Knee) Questionable, Zach Bako-Bewele (Knee) Questionable, CB Benjamin St-Juste (Hamstring) Questionable. NEW YORK — S Minkah Fitzpatrick (Groin) Out, WR Omar Cooper Jr. (Ankle) Out, DE Joseph Ossai (Foot) Out, RB Kene Nwangwu (Back) Out.

STATS AND STUFF:

— The game marks the home opener for the Jets, who are debuting new white helmets with their fifth current uniform combination and encouraging fans — who packed the stands in Tennessee — to wear white for a stadium-wide “White Out.” “We want to make this place a place where it’s hard to play,” Glenn said.

— The Packers last started 0-2 in 2006, their first season under coach Mike McCarthy.

— During their six straight losses, the Packers have been outscored 90-15 in the fourth quarter and overtime.

— Green Bay has lost five games, including the playoffs, in which it led by at least nine points in the second half since the start of the 2025 season.

— Packers WR Christian Watson had six catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns against Minnesota. Those marks either set or matched his second-highest career totals in all three categories.

— Love’s 387 yards passing against Minnesota was the second-highest total of his career. It also was the highest season-opening total for a Packers quarterback in franchise history.

— Love has thrown 24 touchdown passes in September games since 2023. No NFL quarterback has as many TD throws during the month of September in that stretch.

— Packers K Trey Smack’s 59-yard field goal against Minnesota was the longest in NFL history by a player making his debut, according to Elias Sports Bureau.

— The Jets are looking to start 2-0 for just the 12th time in franchise history and first since 2015.

— The game marks the first home start for Smith with the Jets since Oct. 23, 2016, his final start of his first stint with the team.

— The Jets opened the first and second halves last week with touchdown drives on their opening possession of each, the first time they’ve done that since Week 17 of the 2021 season against Tampa Bay.

— New York had a 19-play scoring drive that bridged the first and second quarters and lasted 11:48 — the team’s longest drive by time in any game since 1994, according to Stats Perform.

— RB Breece Hall has 3,500 yards rushing and needs 90 to pass Bill Mathis for ninth on the Jets’ career list.

WHAT’S NOT WORKING

Counting its 31-27 playoff loss at Chicago last season, Green Bay has dropped six straight games. The Packers hadn’t lost that many in a row since losing their final five games in 1990 and first two contests in 1991.

WHAT’S WORKING

Green Bay’s defense produced an adequate pass rush without Micah Parsons, who’ll miss at least the Packers’ first four games while recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The Packers sacked Carson Wentz three times. They totaled four sacks in the four games Parsons missed last year.

WHAT NEEDS HELP

The Packers committed 12 penalties… Green Bay scored a touchdown on just one of its four red-zone possessions and allowed Minnesota to reach the end zone on all four of its trips inside the 20… The Packers gained just 3.1 yards per carry.

STOCK UP

WR Christian Watson caught six passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns… WR Matthew Golden had six catches for 95 yards to set career highs in both categories… CB Bo Melton had a 59-yard kickoff return and downed a punt at the 4… CB Keisean Nixon had an interception and a half-sack.

STOCK DOWN

The entire starting line of Morgan, Jennings, Sean Rhyan, Monk and Bako-Bewele struggled… S Javon Bullard was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the hit that knocked Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray out of the game, then got flagged again for illegal contact to wipe out a third-down sack on Minnesota’s go-ahead touchdown drive.

KEY NUMBER

90-15 — The Packers have been outscored by that margin in the fourth quarter and overtime during this six-game skid that started last November. Over their last two games, they’ve been outscored 47-6 in the fourth quarter.
