With both teams depleted by key injuries — Packers running back Aaron Jones left the game with an injury and Tampa Bay is missing both starting safeties — Green Bay stormed back with a second successive third-quarter touchdown in a game in which they had trailed by 18 points.
The Packers, assisted by a penalty for a helmet-to-helmet hit near the goal line, cut the Tampa Bay lead to five points after a 2-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams. Green Bay attempted an unsuccessful 2-point conversion and trails Tampa Bay, 28-23.
The sequence began when Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady, who has been brazenly flinging the football deep downfield throughout Sunday’s game, too one risk too many.
