From the Packers weekly

Fourth and two at the Tampa Bay two, twelve fifty-eight left in the first half, nothing to nothing: the third fourth down of the drive. Green Bay had started at its own thirty-two after Williams intercepted Jalon Daniels. On fourth and one at the twenty-eight, Jordan Love hit Tucker Kraft for ten. On fourth and one at the nine, the snap went straight to Kraft, and he ran up the middle for three. A pass interference flag made it first and one at the one, then Chris Brooks lost two, MarShawn Lloyd lost three, and Love's third-down throw to Lloyd got back to the two. Love threw short right to Matthew Golden for the touchdown. Plus three point nine expected points added, what a snap was worth given the down, the distance and the field position, measured against what that situation was already worth, and eleven and a half points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the snap against before it. Sixteen plays, nine minutes sixteen seconds. Green Bay won seventeen to fourteen at Tampa Bay, is two and two, and won after giving the ball away twice in the last nine and a half minutes.
