The Packers’ defense withstood a late Rams drive, sealing the game when Matthew Stafford’s pass on fourth down fell incomplete. A pressure-filled moment saw the Rams narrowly miss a potential game-winning drive after a series of stops by Green Bay.
During a critical late-game drive, the Rams initially moved the ball well with a series of short gains, but a crucial sack by Karl Brooks set them back significantly, eventually leading to their failure to convert on fourth down.
In another highlight, a 66-yard touchdown catch by Tucker Kraft helped the Packers take a 17-13 lead in the second half, after they had already capitalized on McKinney’s earlier interceptions. The Packers had built their lead primarily through turnovers, showcasing a strong defensive performance.
The game featured hard-fought moments with both sides displaying resilience. The Rams attempted a late-game two-point conversion to pull within three points after a touchdown but failed, preserving the Packers’ lead as they closed out the game.
In injury news, the Packers were without cornerback Jaire Alexander, receiver Christian Watson, and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt. Cornerback Carrington Valentine returned to action after missing two games, and tight end Luke Musgrave also played despite limited practice.
This game marked a continuation of the competitive rivalry between the Packers and Rams, with Green Bay gaining a valuable win as they progress through the season.
