At the same time, Brady reconnected with his all-time favorite target, tight end Rob Gronkowski, who turned in a season-high 5 catches for 78 backyards and his very first goal as a Buccaneer as part of a 28-point second quarter for Tampa Bay.
The tide shifted when Buccaneers defensive backs Jamel Dean and Mike Edwards intercepted Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on back-to-back series, beginning a run of 38 unanswered points for Tampa Bay.
Tom Brady protected the football, Ronald Jones published his third successive 100-yard game on the ground and a Buccaneers group that signed up 109 penalty backyards a week earlier against Chicago ended up without a main penalty in a 38-10 win over Green Bay at Raymond James Stadium.
With Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark back from a groin injury, the Packers got off to a perfect start in requiring Tampa Bay to punt on its very first 2 ownerships while Green Bay took a 10-0 lead into the 2nd quarter.
We got ta carry out much better, we got ta change to what theyre doing well and what were not doing well. We just got ta get much better with that.”
The Packers defense got stops early, but the big play it was searching for never ever materialized against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
The Packers defense hit Brady four times, however completed without a sack for the very first time this season. The future Hall of Fame quarterback was effective in the pocket, finishing 17-of-27 passes for 166 yards and two goals.
