How can you not be romantic about football? During another week where the Green Bay Packers (9-3, 2-1 NFC North) struggled with injuries leading up to a major NFC matchup, the green and yellow topped the Los Angeles Rams (7-4, 1-2 NFC West) in a major 36-28 win at Lambeau Field.
The Packers actually won the coin toss for once and deferred, so the Rams were the first to take the field Sunday afternoon. After LA running back Darrell Henderson rushed for 6 yards on 2nd and 5 for a first down, Green Bay’s defensed locked in the next few plays and forced the Rams to punt early.
