Which team did Brady's Buccaneers beat in the 2020 NFC Championship Game?

Tom Brady’s Buccaneers beat the Green Bay Packers in the 2020 NFC Championship Game.

Tampa Bay won 31–26 at Lambeau Field on January 24, 2021, earning the NFC’s place in Super Bowl LV. Brady threw three touchdown passes for the Buccaneers, including two to wide receiver Mike Evans and one to Scotty Miller.

The game was notable because Tampa Bay became the first team to play a Super Bowl in its own home stadium. The Buccaneers had joined the NFC in 2002 after realignment, and this was only their second NFC Championship appearance; their first had come during the 2002 season.

A frequent mistake is mixing up the championship opponent with Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl opponent. The Buccaneers defeated Green Bay for the NFC title, then defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31–9 in Super Bowl LV.
