Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11-5, 6-2 Away) vs. Green Bay Packers (13-3, 7-1 Home)
Date:Â Sunday, Jan. 24, 2021
Time:Â 3:05 p.m. EST
Venue: Lambeau Field — Green Bay, WI
Coverage:Â FOX
These are two very different teams than we saw meet in Week 6 down in Tampa Bay, though the first meeting is still worth noting. The Packers jumped out to an early 10-0 lead entering the second quarter. Then, a pick-six thrown by Aaron Rodgers unraveled everything. Green Bay would fail to score again, losing 38-10.
Since then, Antonio Brown has made his impression on the Buccaneers offense, finally finding a groove. However, he will be inactive due to a knee injury. While he is out, Tampa surprisingly gets tough run stopper Vita Vea back from IR. He was a big reason why Tampa’s run defense was so tough early on, and his return is welcomed in this matchup. Offensively Tom Brady is no stranger to the cold, though some of his playmakers are. With no Brown on the field and Mike Evans likely getting shadowed by Jaire Alexander again, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski will need to make their presence known, as will the running game.
Rodgers and the Packers offense is clicking on all cylinders. Facing the league’s top defense last week, the offense put up 32 points with ease, and the offensive line dominated the Rams front at the point of attack. This allowed Aaron Jones to run for 99 yards, and it kept Rodgers off the grass. In the first meeting against Tampa, Jones ran for only 15 yards on 10 carries. If the Packers offensive line continues their dominance, that will be a major difference maker. Defensively the Packers have held opponents under 20 points in five of their last six games.
