Packers lead Rams 7-0 after first quarter

The Packers won the opening coin toss and deferred. The Rams picked up the initial first down after back-to-back Darrell Henderson runs, but Krys Barnes sniffed out a screen pass to Henderson that ultimately led to Los Angeles having to punt.

Green Bay mounted a 15-play drive to open the game with two third-down passes to Davante Adams, which put the All-Pro receiver over 1,000 yards on the season for the third time in his career.

AJ Dillon also converted a fourth-and-1 situation from midfield. The drive ultimately stalled at the LA 37, with Corey Bojorquez punting the Rams back to their own 15-yard line.

The Packers’ defense got the ball right back after Rashan Gary blew through Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth for a strip sack of Matthew Stafford, which was recovered by Preston Smith at the LA 6.

On third-and-goal from the 1, Rodgers ran a bootleg out of a shotgun formation and scored to give Green Bay a 7-0 lead with 2 minutes, 11 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Rams then turned the ball over at their own 29 after Kenny Clark helped stop Henderson a yard short of the first down on third-and-1 and Adrian Amos upended him for no gain on fourth-and-1.
