“The Buccaneers Are A…”: Aaron Rodgers Gets Candid About His Faceoff With Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay in a Last Minute Thriller

This NFL Sunday happened to be one of the most iconic moments in the Packers’ history, where they defeated Tom Brady and the Buccaneers at their home. It was the second career win of Aaron Rodgers against Brady and probably the last meet in a regular season. The veteran recently spoke about his experience playing against one of the formidable teams in the league.

The Packers QB had been a regular guest on the Pat McAfee show. In a recent episode of the talk show, the veteran spoke about his rivalry against the Buccaneers and the reason behind the low-scoring game.

“This game will always allow for gloating bitching on both sides. That’s just that’s a part of it. I think that’s what makes fans so enduring,” he said. “This is a very difficult sport, and it’s tough to win. And the Buccaneers are a great team and have a great defense.”

“We had three great drives to start the game. I thought maybe I had thrown the ball to Jonesy. On that third down, he may slip two defenders and it’s 21-3” he added to his explanation.

This season, Rodgers entered the field with a pack of young receivers and a strong defense. He completed 27 of 35 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns, whereas Brady connected for 31 of 42 passes for 271 yards. Rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubts was the star of the game after he caught all eight catches and connected for a fabulous touchdown.

Otherwise, it would have been a cakewalk. ” The guys went in there, they fought hard. We just, too many mistakes. Even if I don’t know I looked at me, we had a chance to make a lot of plays, and we didn’t. Doesn’t matter, really.” Brady said.
