Tampa Bay’s victory in the NFC championship was one for the aged. Outdueling Aaron Rodgers set up the ageless Tom Brady (OK, he's 43) to become the oldest player ever to play in a Super Bowl. Bruce Arians, 68, earned a shot at becoming the oldest head coach ever to win a Super Bowl after he outcoached 40-year-old Matt LaFleur in the Bucs' 31-26 victory at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The Bucs’ victory over the Packers that sent them home to Raymond James Stadium for Super Bowl 55 against defending champion Kansas City came down to two pivotal calls, one by each coach. The first one came with 13 seconds left in the first half following a Green Bay turnover when Arians summoned his punt team back to the sideline and sent Brady and the offense back out to go for it on fourth-and-4 from the Green Bay 45. “We didn’t come here to not take chances to win the game,” Arians explained. Brady hit Leonard Fournette for 6 yards with 8 seconds remaining and Tampa Bay leading 14-10. On the next play, cornerback Kevin King inexplicably allowed Scotty Miller to race past him in single coverage and Brady hit his receiver for a 39-yard touchdown with 1 second left for a 21-10 halftime lead. “We were going to try to heave it like a Hail Mary type thing,” Miller said.
