Another playoff game, another game the Green Bay Packers defense gives up over 30. Another NFC Championship Game, another head-scratching offensive performance. Three second-half interceptions got the Packers back into it, but Mike Pettine’s unit gave up 28 first-half points including a mind-numbing 39-yard score going into the half. Aaron Rodgers and the offense couldn’t take advantage of a pair of Jaire Alexander interceptions and their best chance to go to the Super Bowl since 2010 went begging at the hands of the greatest winner the NFL has ever seen, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held off the Packers 31-26 in the NFC Championship Game.
Packers come up short in NFC title game yet again, falling 31-26 to the Buccaneers
