GREEN BAY – A horrible sequence of plays at the end of the first half and beginning of the second half doomed the Packers on Sunday as they lost the NFC Championship Game to the Buccaneers, 31-26 at Lambeau Field.
Tampa Bay scored on a long TD pass in the final seconds of the first half and then added another TD when the Packers fumbled on the opening drive of the second half, setting up QB Tom Brady with a short field.
The Buccaneers led at that point 28-10. Green Bay rallied with the help of three interceptions on defense, but the Packers only scored six points off those turnovers and came up short.
It's the fourth straight loss for the Packers in the NFC title game over a seven-year span.
On the day, QB Aaron Rodgers was 33-of-48 for 346 yards with three TDs, one interception and a 101.6 passer rating. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught four passes for 115 yards, including a 50-yard TD. WR Davante Adams added nine catches for 67 yards and a TD.
RBs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combined for 50 rushing yards on 13 attempts, with AJ Dillon adding 17 yards on three runs. Jones left the game with a chest injury early in the third quarter.
For Tampa Bay, Brady was 20-of-36 for 280 yards with three TDs and the three picks for a 73.8 passer rating. WR Chris Godwin had five catches for 110 yards. RBs Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones combined for 71 yards on 22 carries, with Fournette scoring a TD on a 20-yard run.
Here's a recap of all the action:
