2020 Game Preview: Buccaneers-Packers



The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a chance to make NFL history, but first they'll have to revisit some of their own past, both recent and distant.To buy more Womens Game Packers Jerseys with cheap price, you can visit packernfl.com official website.

For the Buccaneers, the path to Super Bowl LV goes through Lambeau Field, where the 14-3 Green Bay Packers await. The Buccaneers used to be quite familiar with the charms of Lambeau Field, having spent 25 years (1977-2001) in the NFC Central along with the Packers. During that stretch, both the Buccaneers and Packers rose to prominence in the 1990s, culminating in a 1997 Divisional Playoff Game in Green Bay. The Packers won that game, 21-7, in an unforgettable battle of future Hall of Famers Brett Favre and Warren Sapp and eventually made their way to Super Bowl XXXII.

Green Bay didn't win the championship that season but they had raised the Lombardi Trophy the year before; meanwhile the Buccaneers would become annual postseason contenders, eventually capturing their first Super Bowl title after the 2002 season. That '02 campaign was also the first year of the newly-aligned NFL, with eight four-team divisions and the Bucs relocated to the new NFC South. That made matchups with the Packers less frequent, and trips to Lambeau even less so.

But now the rivalry is renewed in the 2020 NFC Championship, with Aaron Rodgers – another sure-best Hall of Famer – replacing Favre and the Buccaneers countering with their own Canton-bound quarterback in Tom Brady. After Brady and Tampa Bay dispatched of Drew Brees and the Saints in the Divisional Round, the Buccaneers move on to a quarterback pairing that could be even more historic. If Rodgers wins the NFL MVP award this year, as is widely anticipated, he and Brady will have accounted for six of the last 14 such trophies, with three each. Much more on that below.

The more recent history between the Buccaneers and Packers came three months ago, when Green Bay came to Florida and went home with a 38-10 defeat. It was easily the worst game of the year for the Packers, which only lost two other games and neither by more than six points. At the same time, it was probably Tampa Bay's 'signature win' of 2020, perhaps only topped by last Sunday's win in New Orleans.
