Tom Brady, Bucs lay waste to hot start by Aaron Rodgers, Packers

Aaron Rodgers made the rarest of mistakes early in the second quarter on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback threw a sideline pass intended for Davante Adams on a third-and-10. Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean jumped the route, snagged the pass and returned the interception for the first Buccaneers touchdown of the day.

It would not be their last. The third career pick-six thrown by Rodgers and his first interception of the 2020 season started an avalanche of Tampa Bay scoring as the Buccaneers reeled off 38 unanswered points.

Tampa Bay rode a swarming defense and and offense ignited by the revival of Tom Brady’s connection with Rob Gronkowski to a 38-10 win in the showcase game of the day in the NFL.
