Rodgers, Packers Destroyed by Tamp Bay
The Packers and Buccaneers are both playoff contenders this year, and this matchup was critical in establishing momentum for both sides.
However, it was ultimately Brady and the Bucs who pulled through in this clash of the GOAT (to some) quarterbacks. Tampa Bay embarrassed the Packers by a score of 38-10 as they moved to 4-2 on the season.
Meanwhile, the Packers dropped their first game of the season as they now trail the Bears (5-1) in the NFC North, falling to 4-1. Rodgers was exceptionally bad this game.
He faced pressure all day long and threw not one, but two interceptions. One of those was brought back for a touchdown.
Coming into the game, Rodgers had 0 turnovers on the season, being the only active quarterback to maintain that number. Further, the Packers offense was firing on all cylinders, scoring an average of 38 points per game, before this matchup.
Brady & Bucs’ Defense Get The Job Done
Credit the Buccaneers for this performance. They held Rodgers and Company to a measly 10 points, and they were in his face all day long.
Additionally, Tampa Bay’s offense played well too. Although Brady threw for only 166 yards, he did throw two touchdowns, including one to Rob Gronkowski. In fact, Gronk had a massive game, making surreal catches throughout the afternoon.
Gronk finished with 78 yards on 5 catches, including the one touchdown. Additionally, running back Ronald Jones continued his hot streak. Jones 113 yards on 23 carries and added two touchdowns as well. Nothing could stop him on Sunday.
