The Green Bay Packers had an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a big completion from Packers quarterback Jordan Love to wide receiver Jayden Reed between three Rams defenders sets up the Josh Jacobs touchdown.
Green Bay played a sloppy first half when they trailed 13-10 at halftime on a 47-yard field goal attempt by Packers kicker Brayden Narveson. The Packers missed tackles on defense. Both the offensive and defensive lines need to be better.
Green Bay awoke in the 2nd half on a Xavier McKinney fumble recovery. Packers quarterback Jordan Love hits a wide-open Tucker Kraft who goes down the sideline all the way for a 66-yard touchdown as the Packers regained the lead 17-13.
Packers safety Xavier McKinney had back-to-back takeaways that have resulted in Tucker Kraft touchdowns. The Packers started to find a rhythm and they led 24-13 in the third quarter.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love came back from a brutal pick 6 in the first half to throwing two touchdown passes to Tucker Kraft in the second half as the Packers rallied to get the victory. Love went 7/7 for 141 yards passing and two touchdowns since the pick 6. He had an amazing second half.
The Green Bay Packers had a big second half on both sides of the ball to get the victory over the Rams. The Packers dominated in the third quarter and outscored the Rams 14-0.
Packers players stocks who rose after win over the Rams
Packers safety Xavier McKinney intercepted Rams QB Matthew Stafford for his fifth interception in five games. He’s the first Packers player to intercept a pass in each of his first five games with Green Bay. This is one of the more impressive defensive stretches I have seen in a player in a really long time.
Packers tight end Tucker Kraft is going to be a problem for defenses. Kraft hauled in two touchdowns on four receptions for 88 yards. Kraft leads all tight ends in yards after the catch this season at 172.
Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper got his first sack off the double stunt scrape blitz on Matthew Stafford. He is going to be a fun player to watch develop with the Packers. You can weaponize him so many different ways.
This was a solid win for the Packers. The defense showed up when it mattered but still some things to work on for the Arizona Cardinals next week who offensively have a lot of firepower.
