The Divisional Game of this year featured the loss of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers within a span of 24 hours. It was certainly a heartbreak for many fans since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Green Bay Packers saw an early exit this year. Although Tom Brady put up a fight against the Rams, the Packers couldn’t even match up with the rhythm of the San Francisco 49ers’ defense.

Brady, however, fought till the very end. But the Bucs defense couldn’t contain the Tams from scoring a field goal, which resulted in a win. Yet it was a job well done by the quarterback. It’s not easy to lead a depleted squad against the most complete team in the league right now.

During the latest episode of Let’s Go! Podcast with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray, Brady revealed that it doesn’t matter how good a team is. It only takes into account how well a team performs on that very day.

Talking about the loss of the Green Bay Packers to the 49ers, Brady quoted his former head coach saying, “Coach Belichick always had a good line, he said, ‘It’s not where you play in the playoffs, it’s how you play.’”

He further mentions how good Green Bay Packers were during the regular season. They clinched the division earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC and gained the home-field advantage for the playoffs. Yet an “underdog” Niners team, led by Brady’s former backup Jimmy Garoppolo downed them to advance to the NFC Conference Championship.

Brady mentioned that the Packers looked invincible at one point, but the “next thing you know, an underdog Niners team goes into Green Bay at Lambeau and wins on their turf and their weather against you know one of the great quarterbacks in the NFL.”
