If Aaron Rodgers is going to make it 2-1 in personal duels with Brady, he'll have to pull something special out of the bag now.

But he insists: “I’m not playing against Tom, I’m playing against the Buccaneers defence. That’s how it should be viewed.

"When it comes to the big picture and you guys writing your stories, I know it’s a part of it. It’s two older guys, fans should enjoy what they get to watch because there are some guys they get to watch for 15 or 20 years who, in their position, are some of the best to ever play the game.

"We should enjoy it and have respect and admiration for what they have done and that their careers are still going on."

This is just the third time that Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have met as NFL rivals, with Rodgers leading the Packers to a 26-21 win over the New England Patriots in 2014, before Brady helped the Pats beat Green Bay 31-17 in 2018.

With Brady now 43, this could be the last regular-season meeting between the quarterback greats. Before today, Brady had thrown for 1,375 yards and 12 touchdowns with four interceptions while Rodgers, 36, had thrown for 1,214 yards and 13 touchdowns with no interceptions.

"Everybody is pretty much in awe of how he makes it look so easy," Brady said of Rodgers. "It has just been unbelievable to watch over the years and he has really kept it going.

"He's a great passer. He's very efficient. He basically doesn't throw interceptions and throws a lot of touchdowns. His decision-making is just phenomenal.

"When you do that as a quarterback, you put your team in a position to win. He's one of the great quarterbacks to ever play the game."

From the midfield, Tom Brady airs it out...

...Scott Miller is pulled back in the endzone. That's pass interference. Automatic first and goal for Tampa Bay.

You feel like Green Bay's chances are fading away rapidly now.

Less than nine minutes to go in Miami's AFC East match with the Jets.

Another unsuccessful drive for the Jets, another punt away.

Walking pace for the Dolphins now.

Davante Adams can't get both feet in on a third down reception.

Green Bay will have to punt again. They just can't seem to get anything going. Remember they were leading 10-0 after a lightning start.

ICYMI... Here's how our guys Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora saw this one playing out.

Jason: This is a legendary match-up. I have to go with Aaron Rodgers, I like the dude's confidence right now, he's playing lights out. If he can play with a lead, those defensive ends he has on defence, the Green Bay Packers can get after the passer and they are going to need that to get after Tom Brady and put him on the ground.

Osi: Tom Brady has entirely too much pride, this guy is going to bounce back. Bruce Arians is going to call an exquisite game plan for him, and that Tampa Bay defensive line, with Jason Pierre-Paul, is going to get after Aaron Rodgers, who's having a fantastic season. I'm going with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers here.

A big sack on Aaron Rodgers from Jason Pierre-Paul and Green Bay have it all to do.

Third and 18, Rodgers escapes the pocket, holds up, and finds Davante Adams for a first down.

That's more like it from the two-time league MVP.

Brady now goes close to an interception as Scott Miller trips in his route and Jerron McMillian, looks free to pick the ball.

Instead, it sails through the Green Bay safety's fingertips. The Packers needed that to stick. Tampa Bay end up punting it away.

Close! So nearly another pick for Tampa Bay.

On third down, Rodgers looks towards Robert Tonyan, but it's Bucs safety Antoine Winfield Jr who's closest to making a catch. The youngster just misses out on his first NFL interception.

Packers have to punt.

Sums it up really.

Sam Ficken misses a 55-yard field goal attempt.

That brings up the end of the third quarter. Incredibly, the Jets are 0-11 on third down today.

And here are some of the reasons why Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers will be heading straight into the Hall of Fame after they retire.

Brady, 43, has won a record six Super Bowls and been the league's Most Valuable Player three times.

Rodgers, 36, has won one Super Bowl and been league MVP twice but has the best passer rating of all-time, with Brady sixth.

Passer rating is a measure of performance for quarterbacks, calculated using a player's passing attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns and interceptions, on a scale from 0 to 158.3.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-10 Green Bay Packers

Wowza, a monster 50-yard field goal from Ryan Succop.

The ball looks to be sailing right, but a late gust of wind helps it through.

So then Mr Rodgers, your turn to respond. Green Bay trail by three touchdowns.

Here's a reminder of how our guys Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora saw tonight's game panning out.

They were both spot on with backing the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Cleveland Browns earlier.

Miami Dolphins 24-0 New York Jets

Another score for Miami, this time through a Jason Sanders 24-yard field goal.

Who'd be a Jets fan eh? They look set for an 0-6 start.

Back under way. Tampa Bay receive the ball to start the third quarter.

Big half of football coming up.

Not the best of quarters for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

After throwing consecutive interceptions, the Packers QB is sacked on consecutive drives - this time by Ndamukong Suh - to close out the half.

The Bucs scored four touchdowns in the quarter to turn a 10-0 deficit into a 28-10 lead.

Seems Aaron Rodgers needs a little longer to regroup.

The Bucs force the Packers to go three and out, with Rodgers being sacked by Lavonte David on third down.
