The first touchdown scored by rookie receiver Romeo Doubs in the NFL gave the Green Bay Packers a 7-3 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.

Doubs, a fourth-round pick from Nevada, caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers on 3rd-and-3 to create an opening-drive touchdown for the Packers.

It looked like a run-pass option (RPO) play. Rodgers pulled the ball and threw quick to Doubs, who found the end zone behind a clear-out block from Allen Lazard.

Doubs, who is filling in for veteran Sammy Watkins, caught three passes for 35 yards on the opening drive, including a 21-yard strike from Rodgers.

The Packers answered Tampa Bay’s opening field goal with a 10-play, 75-yard scoring drive. Rodgers completed all five of his passes for 60 yards, Randall Cobb converted a third down with a 17-yard catch and Aaron Jones created 19 yards on four touches.
