![]() ![]() But they did maximize their time in other ways. The Packers had the ball for 16 more seconds than the Niners. They have made it to their week off and are still very much in the race for home field.Just like the score, Green Bay's and San Francisco's time of possession was almost equal Sunday night. The Packers will use their bye week to get rested and get healthy. The loss to Green Bay makes it three in a row, and the Rams will have to try to keep pace against in the NFC West against the Jacksonville Jaguars next week. Matt Stafford had 302 yards and three touchdowns, but his fumble early on and his pick six in the third quarter diminished the Rams chances of putting an end to their losing streak. Rodgers ended the day with 307 yards and two touchdowns, while Davante Adams had eight catches for 104 yards. The Rams made a comeback bid in the fourth quarter, but by then the deficit was to big and an onside kick recovered by the Packers sealed the game to take the Packers to 9-3 on the season. ![]() It was the third straight game that Matt Stafford had an interception taken back for a touchdown. The Packers had to settle for a field goal, but on the next Rams possession Rasul Douglas picked off Matt Stafford and took it to the house on a 33 yard return to give the Packers a 36-17 lead late in the third quarter. Koski fielded the punt, but was stripped and lost the fumble when Krys Barnes recovered inside of the Rams 30. Just minutes later the Packers had the ball back, but were forced to punt. Rodgers orchestrated a nearly eight minute touchdown drive to start the third quarter to stretch the lead back to double digits. The Packers used a monster third quarter to stretch a three point halftime lead to 19 points going into the final quarter. They were able to overcome their early mistakes to take the Packers to halftime trailing the home side by just three points. The Rams battled back in the second quarter after turn overs on two of their first three possessions. It would be the first of three possessions the Packers would start inside the Rams 30 yard line. Rodgers didn’t practice all week, but got some early help from his defense when Matt Stafford was strip sacked by Rashan Gary and the Packers recovered deep in Los Angeles territory. Aaron Rodgers was with out one of his top offensive lineman, David Bakhtiari and he had to deal with a broken toe that bothered him against the Vikings last week. The Packers got a big boost pregame when it was announced their running back Aaron Jones would be coming back after missing the game against the Minnesota Vikings. Reports leading up to the game indicated that Rams QB Matt Stafford was battling a back injury, along with an arm injury. Los Angles had lost two in a row before going into their bye week, and had time to get healthy and incorporate some of the new faces on the roster into the team. Two teams with Super Bowl aspirations, two teams desperate to keep pace in the race for home field, and two teams entering the game on the midst of a midseason slump. It was dubbed as America’s game of the week, and it lived up to the hype. The Pack capitalized on the Rams turnovers as Aaron Rodgers threw for over 300 yards. The Green Bay Packers returned to their winning ways after defeating the Los Angeles Rams in Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon. ![]()
