Leonard Fournette just put the entire Green Bay Packers defense on a poster.

When Tom Brady handed the ball off to Leonard Fournette, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back decided that he was going to embarrass the Green Bay Packers defense en route to pay dirt.

Fournette was 20 yards out, but he bulldozed and spun his way to the goal line. He dove for the Packers’ pylon and was triumphantly successful. His first-half touchdown made it 14-7 Buccaneers after the made PAT. If Tampa Bay wins this NFC Championship game, the Buccaneers will be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. This is very much in play.

Will the Buccaneers be the NFC representative in Super Bowl 55?

Though they are playing on the road vs. the Packers, Green Bay has had its issues in recent years in conference championship games. Aaron Rodgers’ team has fallen in their last three conference title bouts to the 2014 Seattle Seahawks, the 2016 Atlanta Falcons and the 2019 San Francisco 49ers. However, this is their first NFC Championship game at Lambeau Field since 2007.

If the Buccaneers are going to pull off the stunning road upset, they need to outscore the high-octane offense of the Packers. They will also need to win the turnover battle and get a few lucky breaks along the way. While the Packers are the favorite to get to the Super Bowl, Tampa Bay is playing with house money. . .to get to Tampa Bay. Expect this one to go down to the wire.

If Fournette has a few more runs like this in him, look for the Buccaneers to be NFC Champions.
