Social media is responding quickly to the Packers’ defense.
This is perhaps the worst defensive design I have ever seen with eight seconds and no timeout left. Green Bay-I’m not sure how to play from technique to man and just play the zone and protect the sideline and the end zone? Unbelievable.

Meanwhile, on the first ride of the Bucs, Brady paired the game twice with Mike Evans on the first ride to give the Bucs an early 7-0 lead. Brady hit Evans for a 27-yard catch on a corner kick that was against Chandon Sullivan on the third-and-4 series.
Evans then jumps up in the end zone and works against Kevin King for a 15-year onslaught.
A win today will send Brady to his 10th Super Bowl and the Bucs to their second.
