The Green Bay Packers defeat the Los Angeles Rams 36-28 in a tightly contested affair

After last week’s surprise loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers returned to form splendidly. Considering Aaron Rodgers’ injury and poor form in general, the Green and Gold put up a complete performance to pull off this victory over the Rams. Aaron Rodgers, as always, was the star for the Packers.

The 37-year-old QB scored two Touchdowns and threw for 307 yards against the Rams. Fortunately for him, it was not a solo effort as he had ample support from wide receiver Davante Adams. The WR led the team with eight catches for 104 yards in the win over the Rams.

Against Los Angeles Rams, Aaron Rodgers completed 28 of his 47 passes for 307 yards. The quarterback also scored two touchdowns and no interceptions. To cap off an all round performance, the Packers captain also rushed for a TD on two carries. Post match, when quipped about how he managed to perform so beautifully despite a broken toe, the QB said that he expects greatness from himself and excuses doesn’t help him.

“When I step on the field, I expect greatness,” said Rodgers after his dominant display. “Anyone who’s a great competitor feels the same way. I don’t lean on excuses: not practicing, a little toe injury.” Rodgers, who suffered the injury during quarantine with COVID-19, added: “It definitely isn’t the ideal situation not to practice. But if I can go out there, take mental reps, go through the plan and my preparation and feel good about what I’m doing, and when I get out there, I’ve just got to rely on my instincts.”

Damn, that was inspiring!
