Packers to face Los Angeles Rams in NFC Divisional Round

The Packers will play the Los Angeles Rams (10-6) in the NFC Divisional Round playoffs next weekend.

The Green Bay Packers have an opponent for the NFC Divisional Round playoffs.

Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams will head to Green Bay to play the top-seeded Packers next weekend.

The game is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 16 at 3:35 p.m. CT on FOX.

The Rams, the sixth seed in the NFC, beat the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. The New Orleans Saints’ win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday ensured the Rams would be the lowest-remaining seed.

The Packers are the No. 1 seed and had a first-round bye.

The Rams finished 10-6 and second in the NFC West.

Two-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald and first-team All-Pro Jalen Ramsey anchor the NFL’s top scoring defense. It’s unclear who will start at quarterback for the Rams, given the injury issues for John Wolford and Jared Goff. Rookie running back Cam Akers produced 176 total yards in the Rams’ 30-20 win over the Seahawks.

The Packers haven’t played the Rams since 2018. Matt LaFleur, who has won 26 regular-season games since taking over as the Packers coach in 2019, was the offensive coordinator for McVay in Los Angeles during the 2017 season.
