The Green Bay Packers moved to 2-1 on Sunday, as they defeated Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their home opener, 14-12. This was Aaron Rodgers' second-career win over Brady in five total contests, including playoffs, and their first matchup since the 2020 NFC Championship game. This game came down to the very final play. Brady led the Buccaneers 89 yards down the field to cut the deficit to two points with a touchdown pass to Russell Gage with just 14 seconds remaining. However, there was a miscommunication on the potential game-tying two-point conversion, and the Buccaneers drew a delay-of-game penalty. That cost them five yards, and Brady couldn't find Gage in the end zone to tie the game. Both star quarterbacks were missing multiple starting wide receivers, which explains the shortage of points scored. Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 255 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, while Brady completed 31 of 42 passes for 271 yards and one touchdown. For the Packers, rookie Romeo Doubs stepped up at receiver, catching all eight of his targets for 73 yards and one touchdown. For Brady, Gage was his favorite target. He caught 12 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown, but also lost a fumble. This was a tale of two halves, as 17 of 26 total points were scored in the first two quarters. After Green Bay dominated the first half, this affair turned into a slugfest dominated by both defenses.
