Favre attended Bucs game as part of NFL Films crew
The presence of Brett Favre at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' home opener on Sunday raised some questions, but it turns out the Hall of Fame quarterback was there to work.
Favre was at Raymond James Stadium with an NFL Films crew to shoot a segment on Bucs linebacker Devin White for an Epix show called "The Grind," according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. A "couple" of family members also joined Favre.

Bucs center Ryan Jensen tweeted Monday, wondering why Favre was allowed to attend the game while his own family wasn't.
So he can go to the game but my family can’t? Interesting https://t.co/bSDN7Vd6hD

The Bucs have barred fans from attending the team's first two home games, citing health and safety concerns.
