VETERANS' DAY: Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers hugs Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady after Sunday's clash in Tampa. The visiting Packers won 14-12. 

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers did just enough to beat Tom Brady and the short-handed Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The NFL MVP threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and the Packers withstood a late rally led by Brady to hold off the Bucs for a 14-12 victory in the first meeting between the teams since Tampa Bay won the NFC championship game two seasons ago.
