Packers fall short to Bucs in NFC title game

The Green Bay Packers will have to wait one more year to fully realize their Super Bowl dreams after falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.

 

The Bucs got the lone score of the first quarter when Tom Brady found Mike Evans behind Kevin King for a 15-yard touchdown pass to make it 7-0.

 

The Packers would tie it up in the second quarter when Aaron Rodgers found a streaking Marquez Valdez-Scantling for a 50-yard score. After Leonard Fournette scored from 20 yards out, the Packers could only muster a field goal before the Bucs scored one last touchdown on a deep pass to Scott Miller to give them a 21-10 at the half. 

 

The Bucs would make 28-10 after they turned an Aaron Jones turnover into a Cameron Brate touchdown to put the Packers in a hole they would ultimately not dig themselves out of. The Packers would stage a comeback after that with touchdown passes to Robert Tonyan and Davante Adams to make it a five-point game in the fourth quarter.  Two fourth-quarter interceptions turned into punts mere players later as the two teams traded field goals in the final period to allow the Bucs to become the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium and Brady to have a 10th berth into The Big Game.
