Let’s not get this twisted.
Even in one of the worst starts to an NFL season in terms of scoring and quality of play, we simply cannot lose sight of what’s happening in Tampa Bay and Green Bay. Because amidst the handful of good NFL teams, Tom Brady’s and Aaron Rodgers’ squads are nowhere to be found. And that so is strange!
In fact, Brady and Rodgers, right now, lead two of pro football’s very worst teams. For a 45-year-old and 38-year-old still seeking another passing touchdown, more glitz and glamour in the press, and another ring (especially Rodgers) — this can’t be how they wanted to go out. Maybe the two legendary quarterbacks will start to piece it together down the stretch. But at a certain point, they are what they are. Red flags typically don’t lie.
We dive into the foibles of Brady, Rodgers, and the rest of the league in what still turned out to be an eventful Sunday for the NFL in the Week 8 edition of For The Win’s power rankings for the 2022 season.
