NFL titans, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers are under scanner. Previously, they battled through negativity with confidence. The dominant duo battled hard. Remarkably, it led to the reversal of fortunes for their teams, like the memorable comeback by TB12 in Super Bowl LI for the Patriots.

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers hit a major roadblock in Week 12

Tom Terrific had set a unique record before the Week 12 game against the Browns. The GOAT was 218-0 when ahead by seven or more points in the final two minutes of the regulation. However, that notable feat ended at FirstEnergy Stadium, when Kevin Stefanski’s men clinched a 23-17 victory over the Bucs at OverTime. The remarkable loss is noteworthy because it spoke about Todd Bowles’s teams’ lack of preparedness to deal with closing the games.

Incidentally, Week 12 had turned from bad to worse for A-Rod. The 38 YO had confirmed the seriousness of his right thumb injury last week. But he appeared unfazed to enter the field for the Eagles clash. However, midway, the 38 YO suffered an oblique injury and headed back to the dispirited Packers’ locker room. The four-time MVP winner appeared in pain as he made the long walk back. Unsurprisingly, Matt La Fleur and his men lost the game 40-33.
