Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers held off Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14-12 as the two veteran quarterbacks collided on Sunday.
While Rodgers claimed his second victory over Brady in five meetings, the anticipated offensive battle was ultimately superseded by a defensive struggle.
Reigning back-to-back NFL MVP Rodgers threw two touchdowns in the first half but the Packers were shut out in the second, while Tampa Bay left it until the dying stages to finally score a touchdown.
Seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady led an 89-yard drive that ended with him finding Russell Gage in the endzone with 14 seconds left to make it a two-point game.
