Ecstatic Aaron Rodgers is proud of his boys
The Packers QB Aaron Rodgers looked extremely relieved after riding over the Rams at the Lambeau field. He praised his defense for holding the fort for the team and giving the offense good field positions.
“We got some good field positions, and we made the most of it. But we had a couple of drives in the fourth to put them away, didn’t do it. But a great last drive to finish the game off, I am proud of those guys,” Rodgers said in the on-field interview after the win.

He also reminded his team that they still have a lot to play for. But he heaved a sigh of relief after posting back-to-back wins.
” A lot to play for, but it’s fun to win games, to post a win in December,” the Packers QB added.
The Packers went into halftime just four points ahead of the Rams. But they came out full throttle in the third quarter to kill the game off. And they finally found some balance in their passing and running games.
A team win for the Packers
The offense found some semblance of a groove and the defense held out when called upon, this was certainly a team win for the Packers. Head coach Matt LaFleur found some balance in his team’s passing and running games to post a much-needed win.
They still have some work to do as it gave away far too many turnovers that could have cost them the game. But it certainly looked better than it has all season. In the third quarter, they were especially dominant.
