Packers lament key mistakes in latest narrow loss
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ty Montgomery’s fourth-quarter fumble on a kickoff return was only the final big blow to the Green Bay Packers’ hopes of knocking off the unbeaten Los Angeles Rams.
Montgomery’s mistake was far from the only error Sunday that left Green Bay’s half of the rowdy Coliseum crowd going home unhappy despite an occasionally inspired effort by their team.
“That play didn’t lose the game, but it definitely took away an opportunity for us to go down and win it,” Aaron Rodgers said of Montgomery’s fumble.
Other plays loomed just as large to Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy after the Rams salted away their 29-27 victory without letting Rodgers touch the ball in the final 5:20.
