The "Elephant in the Room"! Rodgers vs Brady
First, forget the Super Bowls(Brady), the TD passes, yards, game winning touchdowns, etc. Just, think of TWO great quarterbacks, doing their VERY best to win a football game! They are going to battle & battle & battle! Forget the stats, enjoy the battle!
Second, two very different styles of quarterbacks! Brady, is old school. The mold of Unitas, Namath, Starr, Aikman - Drop Back and chuck it. Hit the short passes, throw a long one once and awhile and control the game! Rodgers, more the creative, nerdy, mad scientist. Artistic & analyzing. And, making throws that Brady could not make!
But, Brady has a "Will to Win". A story from this Packer fan:
The Packer Buddies had their normal end zone seats. The opposing team was slowly entering the field to warm up before the game. At the far end of the stadium, Brady enters, sprints down to our end zone - stairs at the Packer Fans, raises his hands, and in his eyes says, "I am going to BEAT you!" Whoa!
By the way, Rogers & the Packers won that day! A brief report on the game:
Nov. 30, 2014: Green Bay Packers def. New England Patriots, 26-21
The first-ever Brady vs. Rodgers matchup took place at Lambeau Field in 2014. Both teams had Super Bowl aspirations with the Patriots entering the week at 9-2 and the Packers at 8-3.
Rodgers outdueled Brady in this one, completing 24 of 38 passes for 368 yards and two touchdowns. His go-to target Davante Adams finished with six catches for 121 receiving yards, and both Jordy Nelson and Richard Rodgers contributed TDs in Green Bay's victory.
Brady completed 22 of 35 pass attempts for 245 yards and two touchdowns, both of which were caught by wideout Brandon LaFell. Running back Brandon Bolden also scored.
So, Brady is 2 wins and 1 loss versus Rodgers. Of course, earlier this year:
Oct. 18, 2020: Tampa Bay Buccaneers def. Green Bay Packers, 38-10
Now, what will happen this Sunday? WOW! This is fun!
