Losing Brown for the tough Packers matchup is an unfortunate blow to one of the league’s most potent offenses. However, the Bucs are stacked offensively with players like Rob Gronkowski, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. In spite of Brown’s injury, they have guys who can help pick up the slack.

In eight games for the Bucs this season, Brown caught 45 passes for 483 yards and four touchdowns. He became a consistent target for Brady once he was able to get on the field and familiar with the offense.
As expected, the Bucs will head into Lambeau as the underdog. The Packers will be playing on their home field. As a result, they will have the advantage of being comfortable in the frigid weather of Wisconsin in January.
Fortunately for Tampa Bay, Tom Brady is no stranger to cold weather after spending two decades in Boston with the New England Patriots. That might give the team a boost if the weather proves to make an impact on the game.
