of Tampa Bay Buccaneers He lost on Sunday’s delay of game penalty kick.
Aaron Rodgers I want you to know that he — and the Bucs video board operator — played a role in the alleged violation.
Rogers Green Bay Packers Tampa escaped with a 14-12 victory That snowballed when the Bucs failed to convert on a 2-point effort in the final seconds of the game. Tampa Bay set up the conversion with a touchdown pass Tom Brady to the Russell Gage 14 seconds left.
Instead of a standard two-yard effort, the Bussies failed to end the game in time and were forced to punt from the seven-yard line. The entry point appears to be sorted Leonard Fournette If not for the punishment.
A seven-yard line attempt failed when Brady forced an incomplete pass in the crowded Packers’ secondary. They won the game. Afterward, Rodgers took a shot at the home video board operator — confirming that the officials were expecting a delayed penalty.
“They should have had it in the previous game, there was a delay in both games,” Rodgers said. “Sometimes you see things in a game. Sometimes the Jumbotron shows things that probably shouldn’t be shown at home. I saw something, I relayed the information.”
Rodgers “saw” the game clock hit zero before the Bucs snapped the Brady touchdown. The information he relayed to the officials on the field was a predictable late penalty.
Here’s the touchdown play in question, and the clock hit zero before the ball was snapped.
In the book, there was indeed a delay. He is sometimes called and sometimes not in the NFL. The delay in two-point conversion was of a similar nature – and called. Brady refused to make excuses after the game, blaming the offense and others on poor execution.
“We needed a good kill, and we didn’t get it,” Brady told reporters. “There were a lot of times where we had another bad penalty.” “I think the reality is that when you do that, you don’t have a chance to score.”
Brady is right whether or not Rodgers made an impact on the free kick. The Bucs fouled out and put themselves in position to draw a flag on a series of crucial plays. And cost them the chance to win the game.
