Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are in unfamiliar spots. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Green Bay Packers were eliminated from the playoffs this past weekend, which means Brady and Rodgers will not be playing in the NFC Championship game. This is the first time since 2009 that Brady or Rodgers will not play in a conference title game, which led to fans sounding off on social media.
Brady and the Bucs fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round on Sunday, 30-27. Brady did everything he could to led the Bucs to a comeback, but the Rams kicked a game-winning field goal to get one step closer to the Super Bowl. Rodgers struggled in the team’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night and that game ended with a field goal with no time left.
