2. Points off turnovers

Two teams. Five combined turnovers. Two very different stories after the turnovers.

The Packers turned it over twice–an Aaron Jones fumble and an Aaron Rodgers interception–that led directly to 14 points for the Bucs. Tampa was able to capitalize both times by putting the ball in the endzone.

On the flip side, Green Bay turned three Brady interceptions into six points when they were trailing late in the game. That’s completely unacceptable. The inability to put points on the board with those extra turnovers cost the Packers an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl.
