2. Gronk is back?

After coming out of retirement and joining Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski hasn't made a huge statement since his return to the league. But he decided to make that statement against the Packers. Gronk caught five passes for 78 yards and a touchdown, which of course included his famous "Gronk-spike."

Gronk was the leading receiver for the game and showed some signs of the powerful tight end we have seen play before. But fans should not get on the hype train just yet, as this was his first decent game since the season began. However, do expect more Gronk spikes to come.


1. The Buccaneers' defense is legit

After their spectacular performance on Sunday, the Buccaneers defense now ranks No. 1 in terms of total defense. They rank No. 5 in passing defense and No. 1 in rushing defense, which showed as Packers' star running back Aaron Jones was held to just 15 yards on 10 carries.

In terms of passing defense, well, Rodgers did not throw a single touchdown and threw his first two interceptions of the season. Is it panic time for Packers' fans? Absolutely not, but teams going against the Buccaneers should worry about their defense.
