In the fourth quarter, Brady and the Buccaneers offense put the game away. Mike Evans caught a 15-yard touchdown pass, and Fournette added another rushing touchdown to give Tampa Bay a commanding 38-17 lead. The Packers tried to mount a comeback, with Rodgers throwing another touchdown pass to Valdes-Scantling. But it was too little, too late. The Buccaneers defense held firm, forcing Rodgers to throw an interception with just over a minute remaining. The victory marked the Buccaneers’ third consecutive win and improved their record to 6-2. The Packers fell to 6-2 but remained atop the NFC North. “It was a great team win,” said Brady after the game. “We knew it would be a tough environment, but our defense played lights out and our offense made big plays when we needed them.” Rodgers acknowledged the Packers’ struggles, but praised the Buccaneers’ performance. “They made us pay for our mistakes,” he said. “We need to learn from this and come back stronger.” The Buccaneers’ upset victory sent shockwaves through the NFL and proved that even at 44 years old, Tom Brady is still a force to be reckoned with. The Packers face a tough road ahead, while the Buccaneers look to continue their resurgence under their legendary quarterback.
