Packers face must-win game against Buccaneers after tough loss

Summary

The Green Bay Packers, currently 1-2, will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week in a crucial matchup. After a disappointing loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, the Packers must secure a win to avoid falling to 1-3. Tampa Bay may be without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, who suffered a dislocated thumb during a game against the Minnesota Vikings. If Mayfield is unable to play, the Packers will likely face rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, who has yet to appear in an NFL game. Kickoff is scheduled for next Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.
