The Rams defense was No. 1 of the season, but this Saturday at the divisional playoff game in the National Conference against the best attack in the NFL, he was no match when the Green Bay Packers beat Los Angeles 32-18.
The Packers, led by Aaron Rodgers, will play for the NFC championship against the winner of the game between New Orleans and Tampa Bay of this Sunday. It will be Rodgers’ first Championship Game at Lambeau Field, where there were a few thousand fans on Saturday.

If there is an image to be remembered from the game, it will have to be that of Aaron Donald crying on the Rams bench.

The best defensive player in the league played with a rib injury suffered a week before and could not be a factor, in fact in the second half he was hardly on the field, which was taken advantage of by Rodgers. Green Bay totaled 484 yards.
GOING DEEP!

Ironically, the most questioned Rams player of the entire season, quarterback Jared Goff, executed very well completing 21 of 27 passes for 174 yards and 1 TD. But it was too much to ask him to keep up with Rodgers; the Rams had to stop the favorite for ‘MVP’ of the season and they couldn’t. They also did not stop the Packers’ career, who added 188 yards and two touchdowns that way.
