Brady bests Rodgers in superstar matchup

Tom Brady won the battle of the Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks on Sunday, outduelling Aaron Rodgers as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers routed the previously unbeaten Green Bay Packers 38-10.

Brady completed 17 of 27 passes for 166 yards and two scores, and Ronald Jones rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns as the Buccaneers handed the Packers their first loss of the season.

Brady's sidekick Rob Gronkowski also got into the act as the dynamic duo connected for their 91st career touchdown pass and the Bucs improved to 4-2 for the season.

"He played great today. We got to try and keep getting him and the tight ends the ball," said Brady of Gronkowski.

Rodgers finished 16 of 35 for 160 yards with two interceptions. "I think we needed kind of a kick in the ass," said Rodgers.
