After struggling through three losing seasons, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are heading to the NFC Championship game! It what has been an incredible turnaround story, Ali Marpet '15 and the Bucs defeated their division rivals, the New Orleans Saints, last Sunday night, 30-20.
QB Tom Brady made some key throws and the Bucs defense forced multiple turnovers to give Tampa a shot at the #1 seeded Green Bay Packers this Sunday afternoon.
It's been an exciting run for the Bucs and their fans and Ali has certainly been a big part of it. Named as an All Pro by Pro Football Focus, Marpet has had an outstanding season as one of the NFL's top OL.
While the Bucs will once again be road underdogs going up against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Tampa did give Green Bay their worst loss of the season, a 38-10 drubbing, back in Week 6.
Here's hoping that Marpet, Brady and the Bucs have one more trick up their collective sleeves to return back to Tampa to prepare for Super Bowl LIV!
Go Bucs! Go Bart!
