Tramon Williams played for the Packers from 2007 through 2014, then again in 2018 and 2019, before the team opted not to re-sign him last spring.

Both the Packers’ and Buccaneers’ offenses are predicated on effective play-action passing games that are designed to take advantage of their strong ground games, as both Arians and Packers head coach Matt LaFleur are big believers in it.

“He was a really, really humble man, and I definitely appreciated that humility,” Aaron Rodgers said of Ted Thompson, the former Packers GM who died on Wednesday.

Tom Brady’s teams are 10-3 against Mike Pettine-led defenses, including winning the past eight games.

Ted Thompson died on Wednesday night, three days after his 68th birthday and just as a Packers team that bears his fingerprints is again one victory away from a Super Bowl berth.

“My future is a beautiful mystery, I think," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Wednesday. "The present is such a gift to be able to stay in the moment and to have gratitude for being in this situation again."

Tom Brady is already the NFL's GOAT, but if he can take the once-moribund Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl championship, he will be the lion of all GOATs.

“Anytime you call on Billy, he steps up and does a great job for us,” offensive line coach Adam Stenavich said.
