There were a lot of quick reactions from social media in the Packers ’defensive lapse.
It may be the worst defensive design I’ve ever seen with 8 seconds and no waiting time. Green Bay: Not sure how to play within the man-to-man technique and just play the zone and protect the sideline and the end zone? Amazing.

This call-up is the reason the buccaneers will win the game and possibly the Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, in the first unit of the Bucs game, Brady twice connected Mike Evans with the first unit to give the Bucs an initial 7-0 lead. Brady hit Evans for a 27-yard catch in a corner working against Chandon Sullivan third and 4th.
Then Evans jumped into the end zone working against Kevin King for a 15-yard touchdown take.
If he won today, Brady would get to his 10th Super Bowl and the Bucs to second.
