No one but delusional fans of both Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers would expect a Sunday roast.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense has been marred by injuries – particularly the offensive line – and the Green Bay Packers are still looking to operate as a front runner. With Rodgers turning 40 quickly and Brady having long left that milestone in his rearview mirror, there’s a good chance their 3rd week midweek game in Florida will be as heavy as humid air. wet.
Brady’s Buccaneers lost to Rodgers’ Packers 14-12. Brady is the gold standard for longevity and victory in the NFL, and Rodgers has helped Wisconsin quickly rise from their former legendary quarterback position – Brett Favre, who is currently embroiled in a scandal related to funds embezzled from the Mississippi government.
These two quarterbacks are the defining faces of the NFL in the new millennium. Both were underwhelming stories, with Rodgers having to be the guy in the 2005 NFL Draft who had to wait longer than expected to be named, and of course no one expected Brady to have much of a career there. NFL when he was drafted in the sixth round in 2000.
The Buccaneers lost almost the entire game to finally score six points in one play on Sunday. They scored the only goal of the game with 18 seconds left. And the Packers, they won’t score with less than nine minutes left in the second half.

This game is the late afternoon match. Brady and Rodgers. They don’t often play against each other, so of course those two names are great choices for FOX to choose as the network’s standout match of the week.
Brady led the Buccaneers down the field for that final hit that was the highlight of Sunday’s late games, but this one didn’t produce a touchdown for hours. Geno Smith vs. Marcus Mariota is a much more interesting quarterback.
Both the Buccaneers and Packers lead 2-1, but their seasons appear to be going in opposite directions. Even though the Buccaneers beat the Saints last week on the road, Brady looks like he’s having a good time. He was smashing a tablet and starting a melee that brought one of his best offensive weapons to a halt in this week’s game.
His love of the game is said to be what brought Brady back to the field after one of the shortest retirements in professional sports history. Less than a month into this season, Brady looks pathetic on the pitch. The Buccaneers will probably win at the NFC South, because one team really has to win the division and the rest are left back by Mariota, Jameis Winston and Baker Mayfield, but in the end we could watch Brady was suspended for a year too long.
Rodgers and the Packers are in a much better position. With David Bakhtiari finally back in his place at left after two seasons dealing with injury, the Packers are at full strength. That offensive line would open some big holes for the Packers’ barrage of attacks, possibly the best line in the NFL that doesn’t include Lamar Jackson. They also have a defense that has not let their opponents concede 25 points this season.
Even though the Packers and Buccaneers have the same track record, they seem to be teams going in different directions. The Packers are embracing a new reality, while the Buccaneers seem to be fighting through them. It all combined on Sunday for an ugly game with a dramatic ending.
Brady vs Rodgers, a disappointment. The NFL is truly entering a new era.
