Green Bay Packers

Won at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 17–14 · now 2–2

Say this

“Did you see the Packers in Tampa? Two touchdowns from the two-yard line, and then they spent the fourth quarter trying to give it back.”

If they reply

  • “They won, didn’t they?”
    “By three. Against the Buccaneers, who are 0–4. I’d keep that quiet if I were them.”
  • “That field goal, though.”
    “Fifty-eight yards, Trey Smack, last play of the half. Lovely kick. Nobody’s talking about the fumble at the three.”
  • “Love threw two touchdowns.”
    “Both from two yards out. Then an interception at the Tampa 7 with 4:26 left. Swings and roundabouts.”

If you’re stuck

“The thing about the Packers is they’ll get to the three-yard line and then start thinking about it.”

Bluff difficulty: 4/5 — Tricky. They won, and nobody is pleased.
