“You don’t ever want to lose like this,” Rodgers said. “I felt like we needed a little bit of a wake-up call at some point this season because things have been so good and there’s been so much talk maybe outside the building about the ease with which we’re moving the ball on offense and scoring. I think we needed kind of a kick in the ass a little bit.
“There’s a little bit of wake-up to stop feeling ourselves so much and get back to the things that got us to this position. I think this would be, unfortunately but fortunately, something we can really grow from.”

Rodgers is taking the right approach to being blown out by the Buccaneers. The Packers offense was firing on all cylinders before going head to head with Tampa Bay’s lockdown defense, proving that Green Bay has some work to do in order to truly compete in the NFC this season.
The superstar quarterback couldn’t get anything going in the passing game throwing for only 160 yards and two interceptions. Brady didn’t do much better than Rodgers in terms of passing yards with 166 yards. However instead of interceptions, he threw two touchdowns leading his team to a convincing win over Green Bay.
