The full read
Aaron Rodgers won against the Buccaneers on accuracy more than efficiency: 33 of 49, 253 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception and 5 sacks. He was worth -13.7 expected points added (EPA) on 52 dropbacks, -0.26 per dropback, with a completion percentage over expected (CPOE) of +5.6. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position; CPOE measures completions against how hard the throws were.
His best throw came in overtime. Tied 19-19, third and 13 at the Pittsburgh 27 with 9:11 left, he hit DK Metcalf over the middle for 16 yards to the 43, a spot set by replay review. That was +2.6 EPA and +24.9 points of win probability, the biggest swing of his day, and the drive ended with his 6-yard touchdown to Germie Bernard on second and 6 for 26-19.
Down 16-3 entering the fourth quarter, he converted third and 16 to Metcalf and finished that drive with a 5-yard touchdown to Darnell Washington.
The negatives were heavy. Scoreless in the first quarter, first and 10 at his own 36, a throw for Washington was intercepted by A'Shawn Robinson, -5.3 EPA. Down 16-13 with 2:47 left, third and 4 at the Tampa Bay 31, David Walker sacked him for 9 yards, -2.8 EPA and -15.4 points of win probability; Pittsburgh still tied it 16-16.
It ran below his own standard. Through Week 5 he was at -17.8 EPA on 201 dropbacks, -0.09 per dropback, with a CPOE of -2.5, 10 touchdowns, 4 interceptions and 14 sacks.
