The full read
Seven to nothing, Packers, seven 29 left in the second quarter, third and one at the Green Bay 19. Sean Tucker went off left guard and was stopped for no gain. On fourth and one Tampa Bay gave it to him again, and Tucker went up the middle for eight yards to the 11. +1.7 expected points added — expected points added is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position — and 7.7 points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the play against before it. Jalon Daniels ran for nine to the two, and on second and one Tucker went off left tackle for the touchdown. Seven to seven.
The line: three carries, 10 yards, one touchdown, two first downs, +1.8 expected points on the carries, the most of any Tampa Bay running back. All three came on that drive and inside the Green Bay 20. He had no target and no other touch.
The split: Bucky Irving had 16 of the 22 carries by Tampa Bay running backs, Kenny Gainwell three, Tucker three.
Back in June the preview's read on Tucker was eight touchdowns on 94 touches last season as the third back, with the goal-line package as a thing to watch. Through three games he had no carry. Sunday his first three carries all came inside the Green Bay 20, and one scored. That is one drive of evidence for the role the preview described.
