Packers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 33-of-48 passes for 346 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday’s Championship round loss to the Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers was sharp once again on Sunday but ultimately came up short to Tom Brady and the Bucs. The absence of LT David Bakhtiari was evident throughout the game as the Packers’ offensive line surrendered five sacks and pressure took away the deep ball. Things didn’t seem to go Rodgers’ way at times. A seemingly easy touchdown went right through the hands of star WR Davante Adams, and Equanimeous St. Brown dropped a wide-open two-point conversion that would have made the score 28-25 late in the third. Down eight with a little over two minutes to play, the Packers elected to kick a field goal instead of trying to punch it in on fourth down from the six-yard line. Rodgers never got the ball back. Thus an MVP campaign comes to an end. Rodgers finished the season with a 48:5 TD to interception ratio and cemented himself as a top-tier QB1 for 2021.
