Top 10 Best Green Bay Packers Players of Week 3, 2022

You had to sweat this one out as Green Bay escaped Raymond James Stadium with a 14-12 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 25, 2022, improving to 2-1. The Packers scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, then spent the rest of the afternoon protecting a lead while the offense went scoreless after the second quarter.

You watched the game come down to the final seconds after Tom Brady drove Tampa Bay 89 yards for a touchdown that cut the deficit to two. When a delay-of-game penalty pushed the ensuing conversion attempt back to the 7-yard line, Green Bay's defense broke up Brady's pass and preserved the victory. In a game shaped by early efficiency, late defensive resistance, and a finish that left virtually no room for error, you had plenty of individual performances worth examining.

1. Romeo Doubs

   The rookie receiver played the best game of his young career so far. He had 8 catches on all 8 targets, 73 yards, and the first touchdown of his career. It was a good showing for him.

2. De'Vondre Campbell

   

   Campbell was once again the commander of the defense, putting up 14 tackles and the game-winning deflection on the two-point conversion attempt.

3. Keisean Nixon

   Major props need to be given to Nixon. Coming into the defensive lineup after Jaire Alexander went down, he played well in the slot. He had 7 tackles and forced a fumble that Green Bay recovered. Additionally, he made an amazing special teams play as a gunner to pin the Buccaneers at the 1-yard line. He has been a stabilizing presence on special teams and a good backup on defense.

4. Kenny Clark

   

   After a quiet game last week, Clark came back with a resurgence in Tampa Bay. He had 4 tackles, including two for a loss, and 2 sacks. He also consistently got pressure on Tom Brady. Yet another stellar performance from Clark.

5. Quay Walker

   The first-rounder has really made his presence felt in his first three career games, and this one was his best yet. Walker was working sideline-to-sideline and came away with 5 tackles and a forced fumble. He's shown a lot of promise.

6. Rashan Gary

   

   Gary was disruptive the entire game, recording 3 tackles, including one for a loss, and a sack.

7. Pat O'Donnell

   The Packers did a lot of punting in the second half, and O'Donnell was up to the challenge. He punted seven times and pinned the Buccaneers inside their own twenty five times. He has been a key factor, along with Keisean Nixon, in stabilizing the special teams.

8. Aaron Rodgers

   

   For the first half, Rodgers was absolutely dealing. He threw two touchdowns, and the offense was in rhythm. Yet, like so many other times before, there was a turnover, and the offense soon faltered. Rodgers finished the day with a good stat line and the win, but the second half left a lot to be desired. Hopefully, these issues get patched up as the season goes on.

   He's better than Brady now.

9. Allen Lazard

   

   Similar to last week, Lazard didn't record very many catches or yards, but he did have another touchdown and was key in blocking on Romeo Doubs' touchdown.

10. Rasul Douglas

    

    Douglas had to move back outside when Jaire got injured, and he held his own. He had 2 passes defended and 8 tackles.
