The last thing the offensively challenged Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to see is a Green Bay Packers defense that is coming off a much-needed dominating effort.
Hoping for another shut-down performance, the Packers look to move to 10-0 and continue their best start since 1962 while trying to hand the reeling Buccaneers a fourth consecutive loss Sunday at Lambeau Field.
While Green Bay's offense continues to play at an extremely high level behind Aaron Rodgers, the Packers finally put forth the stifling defensive game they had been looking for in Monday's 45-7 home rout of Minnesota.
The Packers (9-0) yielded at least 424 yards in each of their previous three games before keeping the lowly Vikings to 266. They held Adrian Peterson to 51 yards with a touchdown on 14 carries and sacked rookie Christian Ponder three times.

Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns in that contest but was picked off three times against the Texans last weekend. Freeman, who has been bothered by a sprained thumb, has thrown nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions in nine games, compared to 25 TDs and just six picks in 2010.
"I feel like I'm a better quarterback this year than I was last year," Freeman said. "As crazy as that may sound, looking at the numbers, I feel like I'm throwing the ball as well as I ever have, it's just things aren't going my way."
Trailing almost throughout their losing streak, the Buccaneers haven't run the ball much lately. They're averaging just 16.3 carries for 68.0 yards during their skid, with LeGarrette Blount totaling 106 yards on 23 carries in two games since returning from a knee injury.
Tampa Bay is looking for a fourth consecutive win over the Packers. It snapped a 12-game skid in Wisconsin with a 17-16 win in its last visit Sept. 25, 2005.
