Rams vs. Packers live score, updates, highlights from NFL 'Monday ... (Sporting News)

The Sporting News is tracking live scoring updates and highlights as Los Angeles takes on Green Bay on "Monday Night Football."

ET (7:15 p.m. - Time: 8:15 p.m. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. — The Rams have moved the ball to midfield, but a short run and incompletion bring up another 3rd and long. — Rodgers goes back to Cobb on 3rd and 9, but the receiver comes up a few yards short of the marker. TWO-MINUTE WARNING — The Rams look to answer, and on 3rd and 4 Mayfield is able to complete it to Tutu Atwell for a 10 yard pickup. — Finally, the Rams fail to convert a 3rd and long. — That touchdown was down to Rodgers (who went 6 of 6 on that drive) and sloppy, dumb penalties by the Rams. The Rams can't dig out of the hole, and on 3rd and 17 Mayfield's pass to Akers comes up well short of the line to gain. — Continuing the theme of stupid penalties on the Rams, a face mask call on the punt return will have Rodgers and the Packers starting the drive on the LA 35-yard line. — The Rams desperately need something on offense, and on the first play of the drive they get it in the form of an 18 yard screen pass to Akers. — The Packers go for it on 4th and 2 to try and seal the win, and Jones pushes ahead for a first down!

Green Bay Packers inactives list vs. the Rams: What to Know (Dairyland Express)

With no practice squad elevations made this week, the inactives included Shemar Jean-Charles, David Bakhtiari, Caleb Jones, Krys Barnes, and Jonathan Ford.

Prior to his injury in Philadelphia, Savage was relegated to dime duties, as Rudy Ford took over at safety next to Adrian Amos in Green Bay’s base nickel defense, along with Keisean Nixon playing in the slot. Donald has been one of the most productive interior pass rushers in football once again, and as a unit, the Rams defense has been one of the best against the run–although they struggled last week against Las Vegas in that capacity without Donald. [Zach Tom will again be at left tackle](https://dairylandexpress.com/2022/12/14/zach-tom-flourishing-difficult-role-packers-6th-offensive-lineman/), where he held up very well against the Bears.

Packers defeat Rams, 24-12 (Packers.com)

QB Aaron Rodgers was 22-of-29 for 229 yards with one TD, one INT and a 95.3 passer rating. RB Aaron Jones had 17 carries for 90 yards, plus four catches for 36 ...

Amos was flagged for defensive pass interference on a deep ball to Atwell, moving the ball to the Green Bay 41. The Packers went for it on fourth-and-2 from the LA 4 and Jones powered through for a 3-yard gain on first down. After a timeout, Doubs caught a 23-yard pass over the middle to the LA 49. The Rams were flagged for a facemask penalty after the fumble occurred, moving the beginning of their possession back to the LA 15 with 10:55 left in regulation. Green Bay chose to go for it on fourth-and-3 from the LA 17 following a 6-yard pass to Cobb, with Dillon picking up the first down on a draw. The fourth quarter began with Watson drawing a 16-yard penalty for defensive pass interference on Troy Hill. A 17-yard pass to Dillon and 14-yard pass to Cobb moved Green Bay to the Rams' 24. The Rams charged back, beginning with a 18-yard pass to Brandon Powell. Dillon then plowed in for an 8-yard touchdown to put the Packers back up, 10-3, with 4:26 left in the first half. While a Mayfield 15-yard pass to Van Jefferson converted the first down, the Rams would have to settle for a 55-yard field goal by Gay after three consecutive incompletions. Green Bay stopped the Rams on their next third down, though, with a [Preston Smith](/team/players-roster/preston-smith/) sack for a loss of eight yards. Another 11-yard pass to Doubs across the middle moved the ball to the LA 18.

Why the Rams vs. Packers outcome is a win/win for Detroit Lions (prideofdetroit.com)

A look at all of the implications for the Lions during Packers vs. Rams.

By moving to 5-9, the Rams would nearly fall out of the top-10 entirely. Or would you rather keep realistic dreams of a top-three pick alive knowing that the Packers—even with a win—only have an eight percent chance of making the playoffs and could see those hopes die next week against the Dolphins. That’s a five percent difference than if the Packers win. That would still require some help from other teams (including the Lions), but It’s worth mentioning that the last time Green Bay gave up on the season, the Lions beat them 31-0 in the 2018 season finale. Here’s what the draft order would look like: - Rams (owned by Lions): 4-10 (.498) For most of the country, this game is yet another disappointing contest on a national stage, but for [Detroit Lions](https://www.prideofdetroit.com/) fans, there are some pretty big stakes on the line. Alone a Packers win doesn’t do much to the Lions’ playoff odds. So it may not be as much of a long shot as you’d think. Well, I’m here to tell you that either outcome is a positive one for the Lions. Many fans have been asking all day about which team they should be rooting for on Monday night.

Live Updates: Packers vs. Rams (Sports Illustrated)

The Green Bay Packers (5-8) will try to keep their playoff hopes alive when they host the Los Angeles Rams (4-9) on “Monday Night Football.

[The Packers are 7.5-point favorites at SI Sportsbook](https://www.sisportsbook.com/football/usa/nfl/los-angeles-rams-green-bay-packers-e-438801/) with an over/under of 39.5 points. The Rams have one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks with Jalen Ramsey, a Pro Bowler each of the last five seasons and an All-Pro in 2020 and 2021. After a 31-yard punt, the Packers will start at their 44. So, it’s worth nothing that Packers kicker Mason Crosby was short from 50 and 53 yards while kicking to the north end – the 53-yarder landed halfway in the end zone. The Packers got a three-and-out stop. The Packers wasted a chance to extend their lead. The Packers got the stop, though, as Kenny Clark pressured Mayfield into a third-down incompletion. The Rams are right back in the game on Baker Mayfield’s 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tyler Higbee on third-and-goal. It’s Rams ball at the 15. Follow along all night for updates as the Packers try to stay in the playoff race.

Packers defeat Rams 24-12 to keep playoff hopes alive (WOKV)

GREEN BAY, Wis. — (AP) — A.J. Dillon ran for two scores, Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown pass to Aaron Jones and the Green Bay Packers kept their playoff ...

Rams DT and three-time defensive player of the year Aaron Donald missed a third straight game with a high ankle sprain. They’re going to finish up these last three games the right way, with the right mindset and mentality and we’ll compete to the best of our ability. Mayfield wasn’t as effective Monday, going 12 of 21 for 111 yards with a touchdown and interception The Packers (6-8) likely must win out and get plenty of help to earn a fourth straight postseason berth. He ran for 36 yards on 11 carries before leaving the game midway through the second half to be evaluated for a concussion. The Rams (4-10) have matched the highest loss total by any defending Super Bowl champion. Gay’s 55-yarder matched the third-longest field goal anyone has ever made at Lambeau Field. The temperature was 15 degrees (minus-9 celsius) with a wind chill of 7 just before the opening kickoff. The longest “Monday Night Football” winning streak by any starting quarterback is owned by Kenny Stabler, who won 11 straight from 1975-80. “When you’re a young player, you dream about playing on Monday nights,” said Rodgers, who turned 39 earlier this month. “The energy’s been a little bit better. “We’ve just been practicing a little bit better,” Rodgers said.

2022 NFL season, Week 15: What We Learned from Packers' win ... (NFL.com)

Spurred by a pair of AJ Dillon touchdowns, the Packers bested the Rams on Monday Night Football, keeping their faint playoff hopes alive while eliminating ...

[Van Jefferson](https://www.nfl.com/players/van-jefferson/), [Ben Skowronek](https://www.nfl.com/players/ben-skowronek/)and [Tutu Atwell](https://www.nfl.com/players/tutu-atwell/). This time around, it was good enough, thanks in part to a productive night from the Packers' one-two backfield punch of [Aaron Jones](https://www.nfl.com/players/aaron-jones/)and [AJ Dillon](https://www.nfl.com/players/a-j-dillon/). NFL Research: With Monday night's loss, the Rams were officially eliminated from postseason contention, matching the 1999 Denver Broncos for the most remaining weeks when eliminated as a defending Super Bowl champion. This needs to be a building block for the Packers, not a bright spot in a season that ends up drifting toward disappointment. Green Bay realistically can't afford to lose another game if it wants to sprint into the postseason, and it certainly didn't flirt with falling Monday night. [Baker Mayfield](https://www.nfl.com/players/baker-mayfield/), sacking him five times and forcing an interception via pressure and a deflection. It's obviously too late to matter much, but after spending much of this season wondering what happened to the Rams' running game (a problem that first surfaced in the 2021 postseason), Los Angeles is finally finding some decent footing with Akers. This has happened after Akers stepped away from the team ahead of the trade deadline in a situation that appeared headed for a divorce. [Cam Akers](https://www.nfl.com/players/cam-akers/)is finally starting to find his groove. It's tough to blame Mayfield for any struggles, considering he's been with the Rams for less than two weeks, and Monday night exposed what we've long known about Los Angeles in 2022: Its offensive line is in shambles. He completed three-plus passes to five different teammates, and the distribution balanced Green Bay's attack well enough to overcome pressure applied by [Leonard Floyd](https://www.nfl.com/players/leonard-floyd/)and put 24 points on the board on a frigid night at Lambeau Field. Those numbers didn't hold true against the Rams, though, thanks in large part to the Packers' ability to get after

The Good, Bad And Ugly From The Green Bay Packers' Win Over ... (Forbes)

Keisean Nixon gave the Green Bay Packers' return game a jolt Monday in their 24-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Green Bay has played 34 games since then, and Bakhtiari has played in just nine of those (26.4%). Packers standout Rashan Gary suffered a torn ACL, though, in Week 9, and Enagbare has played 180 snaps in the last four games. DILLON: When the weather turns nasty, the Packers have leaned more and more on Dillon. But it’s just the latest chapter in Bakhtiari’s bad luck story. Dillon ran for a pair of touchdowns Monday and now has four TDs in his last three games. “Throwing the football has been an advantage for us in the weather as well. “I think anytime the weather gets cold and the field gets cold, naturally guys don’t move maybe at the same speed,” Rodgers said. everybody’s goal should be the same at the end of it, so I think we’ve got a long way to go and certainly you just take it one day at a time, one game at a time.” Green Bay’s win Monday gave LaFleur a 16-1 record in regular season games played in December and January. So while the odds of Green Bay experiencing postseason football remain long, there’s still a chance. The Packers won consecutive games for the first time since Week 4, improved to 6-8 and kept their hopes for the postseason alive. Green Bay maintained its hold on the No.
