It took 15 weeks and a terrible opponent, but the Green Bay Packers finally put together a three-phased performance that most were expecting from Matt LaFleur’s team in 2022 during Monday night’s 24-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
The offense got 197 total yards and three scores on 35 touches from running backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon, the defense created five sacks and held the Rams to only 156 total yards, and the special teams made no big blunders and actually created a handful of important plays.
The performance certainly wasn’t perfect (two turnovers), and it didn’t resemble the aesthetically-pleasing blowouts from the 2020 and 2021 seasons, but the Packers soundly beat the visiting Rams – who are now eliminated from the playoffs after winning the Super Bowl last year – to create a two-game winning streak and keep the team’s playoff hopes alive entering Week 16.
