The snap on the point after attempt was off the mark, but right now the Packers have a 16-3 lead over the Rams.
What seems to be giving the Los Angeles defense trouble is the myriad ways the Packers can attack them.

When Rodgers retreats to throw, the Rams are struggling to get pressure on him, and both man and zone coverages in the secondary are failing to lock down his options downfield, including Davante Adams.
