Watch: Aaron Rodgers takes it himself for the Packers TD

Aaron Rodgers uses a pump fake to get to the edge and inside the front pylon for the Green Bay Packers touchdown.

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.

Facing a 3rd-and-goal down near the goal line, Aaron Rodgers used a pump fake in space to get Leonard Floyd off his feet before tip-toeing towards the front pylon for the Green Bay Packers’ second touchdown of the game:

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 the Rams stay with the lighter boxes up front, Green Bay is having success running the football. 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.

Why Los Angeles Rams Will Win

The defense pitched a gem against Seattle.

The Rams were able to score in the 30-20 win, and they gave up one big pass play to DK Metcalf, but the defense was brilliant as it took over the game early and never let Russell Wilson or the Seahawks ever get comfortable.

They generated pressure, but the biggest key was a secondary that didn’t allow anything short to midrange, and time kept running out. Seattle couldn’t move the chains, were awful on third downs, and only had the ball for just over 26 minutes.

Aaron Donald is expected to be okay after hurting his ribs, and the rest of the line should once again be a killer after coming up with five sacks and ten hits on Wilson.

Aaron Rodgers has to get popped, too.

No one makes quicker reads or is more of a master of his craft, but he’s also getting way too much time to work.

How did Tampa Bay dominate Rodgers and the Packers in the 38-10 Week 6 win? Five sacks, eight tackles for loss, 13 quarterback hits. Rodgers never, ever had time to let the offense work.

That was an anomaly – Green Bay’s O line was great against everyone else. The Rams have to reach that level Buccaneer level.
