Mayfield lost at Lambeau Field the past two years, as a member of the Cleveland Browns in 2021 and Los Angeles Rams in 2022.

PACKERS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Jordan Love’s performance has been a pretty accurate barometer of the Packers’ success. He has thrown 13 touchdown passes and one interception in Green Bay’s six wins. He has 10 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions in the Packers’ seven losses.

The Packers have given up at least 200 yards on the ground in four games this season.

SERIES NOTES: The Packers have won 14 of their past 15 regular-season home matchups with the Buccaneers, though the Bucs’ most recent Super Bowl run included a 31-26 NFC championship game victory at Lambeau Field on Jan. 24, 2021. Bucs LB Shaquil Barrett had three sacks and two tackles for loss that day, while WR Chris Godwin had five catches for 122 yards. … The Packers have won four of the past five regular-season matchups overall. … Romeo Doubs had eight catches for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ victory at Tampa Bay last season. The Packers clinched that victory by stopping a potential tying 2-point conversion attempt with 14 seconds remaining.

STATS AND STUFF: Since entering the league as a second-round draft pick in 2020, Bucs S Antoine Winfield Jr. ranks first among defensive backs in sacks (13) and forced fumbles (nine). He had his fourth sack and fourth forced fumble of the season in the victory at Atlanta. … White ranks fourth among NFL running backs in yards from scrimmage (1,164) behind San Francisco’s Christian McCaffrey (1,614), Jacksonville’s Travis Etienne (1,189) and Buffalo’s James Cook (1,180). … Bucs WR Mike Evans has 62 receptions for 1,020 yards and 10 TDs. It’s his fifth season with 1,000-plus yards and 10 or more touchdown catches. … The Packers had won 16 straight December games before losing to the Giants on Monday night. They haven’t lost a December game at home since falling 31-0 to the Detroit Lions on Dec. 30, 2018. … Love has thrown six touchdown passes and no interceptions over his past three home games. … Packers CB/KR Keisean Nixon is the NFL’s leading kickoff returner with an average of 27 yards per attempt. Nixon did fumble a punt that led to a touchdown in the loss to the Giants. … Packers WR Jayden Reed has five touchdown catches and two touchdown runs. McCaffrey is the only other NFL player with five-plus touchdown catches and multiple touchdown runs this season.

FANTASY TIP: White’s recent surge makes him a must-start player if you have him on your roster as he prepares to face the Packers’ vulnerable run defense.
