Former Nebraska Cornhusker and Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David made a clutch forced fumble on Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones right before he reached the end zone for a touchdown. The fumble was recovered by former Rutgers safety Logan Ryan.

David delivered a big hit on Jones after a pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers that forced him to lose the ball. That touchdown that Jones would have extended Green Bay’s lead on Tampa Bay 21-3.

In the battle between future Hall of Fame quarterbacks between the Buccaneers and the Packers, it is the defense of the teams that is pivotal to the win. There have only been 326 total yards accounted for between the two teams in the first half of play. Green Bay went into halftime with a 14-3 lead over Tampa Bay.
