The Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will compete against one another on Sunday in a game that both teams absolutely need to win. The current standings of both teams are 6-7, which places them smack dab in the heart of the New Football Conference playoff race. A victory would allow the Packers to maintain their position as the seventh seed in the playoffs. New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the three teams competing for the National Football Conference South championship.
In order for the Buccaneers to maintain their position as the leaders in their own division, they will be required to do so without the assistance of a veteran Super Bowl champion.
In the game that will take place on Sunday, Buccaneers players Carlton Davis and William Gholston will not be taking part. In addition, Bowles noted that Game Day decisions would be made regarding Vita Vea, Chris Godwin, Ryan Neal, and the other players that were included on Thursday’s injury report.
Despite the fact that they struggled at times against the New York Giants, the Tampa Bay defense will undoubtedly be impacted by this setback as they attempt to slow down a Green Bay passing attack that has begun to take fire.
It is possible that Christian Watson, Aaron Jones, Dontayvion Wicks, and Jayden Reed will not be available for Jordan Love and his team, despite the fact that Wicks and Reed have been claiming that they are ready. The showdown that will take place on Sunday will be a true test of who is the next man up for both clubs.
