Los Angeles Rams 12 vs 24 Green Bay Packers summary: stats and highlights | Week 15
The Green Bay Packers came out off their bye knowing every game is a must win from here until the rest of the season, and took care of the first of four games in the final stretch of the season with a 24-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams. AJ Dillon had two rushing touchdowns in the Monday Night victory from a freezing Lambeau Field.
Green Bay get through first test
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers used their bye week to get rested and ready for the final stretch of the regular season and came out fresh against a Rams team that went through a midseason make over when they brought in Baker Mayfield from Carolina.
It was below freezing all night long in Green Bay, and the Rams offense never got hot in Mayfield’s second game under center for LA. The defense held the Rams to just 156 yards, and kept them out of the end zone all night long.
Rodgers and the Packers offense took a little while to gets off the ground in the Frozen Tundra. After both teams exchanged early field goals, AJ Dillon punched the first touchdown of the game in late in the second quarter.
Offense ignites in 3rd quarter
That seemed to ignite the Packers offense, who came out of the halftime break with back to back touchdowns. The first TD drive took almost half of the third quarter, and AJ Dillon got his second touchdown on a one yard run into the end zone to extend the lead to 17-6.
After forcing the Rams into a three and out the Packers had a quick strike TD drive that took just three minutes and was capped off by Aaron Rodgers seven yard pass to Aaron Jones to make is 24-6.
The Rams would get into the end zone right before the end of the third quarter, but that would be the last time they got on the board as the GB defense shut down Mayfield and LA for the rest of the game and the Packers would close the game out with a nine minute drive to run out the clock.
Packers need to win out for postseason chances
Rodgers threw for 229 yards a touchdown and an interception in the must win game, and Aaron Jones ran for 90 yards and had a receiving touchdown.
The Packers finish off the season against three teams with .500 records or better, starting with the Dolphins in Miami next week.
Rodgers knows there is work to be done, but they are going to enjoy this win for a while before setting sights on the game in Miami next week.

Baker's triumphant debut
Baker Mayfield stole the headlines in Week 14 with an incredible performance just two days after signing with the Los Angeles Rams. He didn’t get the start, but made his LA debut on the second series and looked like he had been a part of Sean McVay’s offense for years. He moved the ball well, but the scoring didn’t start until it was almost too late. Mayfield led two TD drives in the final minutes of the fourth quarter to sweep the win from under the feet of the Raiders and give LA fans a glimpse what could be to come in the future.

Packers coming off bye
Last week the Packers had a much needed bye week, but the week before Aaron Rodgers proved yet again that he owns the Bears and Chicago. Even with a sub par team that is under performing this year, he went into Soldier Field and carried the Pack to a 28-19 win on the road. Rodgers’ numbers weren’t fantastic, going 18/31 for 182 yards and a touchdown but he led a fourth quarter comeback over their division rivals in the Windy City.
