Rodgers, Brady Duel As Bucs Target Super Bowl Curse

Rodgers, Brady duel as Bucs target Super Bowl curse

Los Angeles, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Jan, 2021 ) :Aaron Rodgers takes on Tom Brady in a first-ever NFL playoff game between the two quarterback titans on Sunday when the Green Bay Packers host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lambeau Field for a place in the Super Bowl.

For the legion of admirers who argue that Rodgers' natural talents make him the best quarterback of all time, Sunday's NFC championship showdown is a chance to put one over Brady, regarded by many as the undisputed G.O.A.T.

In raw statistical terms, Rodgers' resume pales into comparison when contrasted with the achievements and honors amassed by the 43-year-old Brady over the course of his 21 trophy-laden seasons in the NFL.

Rodgers is bidding to reach the Super Bowl for only the second time in his career since leading Green Bay to victory over Pittsburgh a full decade ago in 2011.

Brady, meanwhile, is looking to extend his record number of Super Bowl appearances to 10, with dreams of adding a seventh championship ring to those won with the New England Patriots in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017 and 2019.

A win on Sunday would see Brady become the first quarterback to reach Super Bowls in three different decades, and only the fourth after Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and Craig Morton, to lead two different franchises to the NFL's championship showpiece.

Blocking Brady and the Bucs' path, however, are Rodgers and a multi-faceted Packers team who shrugged off a 38-10 drubbing by Tampa Bay in week six of the regular season to enter the playoffs as top seeds.
