It never really looked difficult for the Packers. Even when the Rams closed within one score in the fourth quarter, it felt like Green Bay was in control — and the Packers eventually won the first Divisional Round game of the weekend, 32-18.
Aaron Rodgers was playing too well. Matt LaFleur was nailing every play-call. The Packers offensive line was dominating. Aaron Donald was clearly limited. And Jared Goff was Jared Goff.
It never felt like the Rams had a player who was going to come through in a big situation and make a game-changing play. Maybe a healthy Donald or Cooper Kupp, who missed the game, would have been that guy. Not on Sunday.
In the end, Green Bay advanced to the NFC title game with an easy win over the Rams. The Packers will take on the winner of the Buccaneers-Saints game tomorrow night. But before we look ahead to those potential matchups, let’s take one last look back at this on.
