The Tampa Bay Bucs are going to the]e Super Bowl and Aaron Rodgers can only question whether he could have done more to win the game.
Late in the Bucs-Packers NFC championship game, it appeared that Rodgers had a clear path to run into the endzone on 3rd and 1 but instead he ended up throwing the ball for an incomplete pass.

The Packers then bizarrely kicked a field goal which led to Tom Brady and the Bucs to get first down via a pass interference to win the game.
Fans immediately questioned why Rodgers didn’t run the ball for a touchdown on the play.

Even if Aaron Rodgers doesn’t run this all the way into the end zone, he at least gets Matt LaFleur to go for it on 4th down. pic.twitter.com/eGIHVcyHiT
