Some really embarrassing punt protection just threatened Packers P Jeremy Kapinos' season.
Geno Hayes came flying in untouched on a punt block and got a lot of ball and way too much leg that ended up as a 31-yard blocked punt return for a TD by Ronde Barber.
Don't laugh about the season-ending part. I think Kapinos is OK, but ask Mat McBriar of the Cowboys about bad protection. Last season in Arizona, the Cardinals got in on McBriar and ended his season — and the overtime game, it turned out — with the blocked punt that damaged his leg and put him on IR.
The Bucs are showing some fight today, finding ways to score against the Packers.
