Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers barely pulled off a 14-12 road win over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was a delay of game penalty against the Bucs on a two-point conversion attempt that essentially ended the game. Had the Buccaneers snapped the football in time, running back Leonard Fournette would have likely had a clear path to the end zone to tie the game.

But the five-yard penalty pushed Tampa Bay back, and they were unable to tie the game, suffering their first loss of the season. Rodgers spoke with FOX's Tom Rinaldi after the game and said that he saw something on the videoboard at Raymond James Stadium. He said that, sometimes, the Jumbotron and the television cameras show too much, and this time, he saw something.

The quarterback insinuated that he could see the play that Brady and the Buccaneers were about to run before the penalty flag dropped. He then said that he passed the information along.

It was clear that the Green Bay Packers were ready to stop the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on their second attempt, and perhaps that information was relayed by the quarterback.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked whether his quarterback spoke to him about the final play. He very bluntly said that they spoke about a few things.

"We were talking about a few things," Matt LaFleur said.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters on Monday morning that he will be looking into the video board allegations. He plans to speak with the team's operations staff and discuss what should and shouldn't be shown on the boards. This will help prevent any information being passed along to opposing teams moving forward.

Bowles also told reporters that it wasn't just that one play that cost the Buccaneers the game. He said that overall sloppy play cost them. But that doesn't change what allegedly happened on the stadium's video boards.
