Packers continue to beat Rams, 24-19

Packers beat Rams, 24-19, to move to 3-2

Karl Brooks sacked Stafford for a loss of eight on third-and-6 to start the fourth quarter, forcing the Rams to punt.

Starting at their own 7, the Packers converted their first two first downs on a 10-yard pass to Wicks and a 9-yard throw to Kraft. Love gave Green Bay its first third-down conversion with a 12-yard scramble on third-and-12 to the Green Bay 42.

Braden Fiske jumped offside on third-and-5 to give the Packers a first down at the Rams’ 36. Green Bay punted from midfield with just over six minutes left.

Stafford led an 11-play, 91-yard scoring drive that ended with a 1-yard TD pass to DeMarcus Robinson with 3:30 left. The Packers maintained a 24-19 lead after stopping the two-point conversion on Carrington Valentine’s tackle of Tutu Atwell during an end-around.

Green Bay started the series with a 13-yard run from Josh Jacobs, but was forced to punt with 3:10 left after Love’s deep ball fell incomplete to Wicks. The Rams took over at their 29, converting on third-and-1 with a 7-yard Williams run.

Kenny Clark pressured Stafford into an incompletion on second-and-10 from the Rams’ 45. On the next play, Parkinson was tackled inches short of the first down as the play reached the two-minute warning.

Williams converted the fourth-and-1 run at the Green Bay 43. There was a 10-second runoff at the 1:24 mark after Whittington was determined to have caught a 5-yard pass to the Packers’ 38. Brooks and Preston Smith recorded a second sack of Stafford on the next play, allowing LA to use its third and final timeout facing third-and-12 with 1:11 to go.

After a 7-yard pass to Parkinson, which set up a fourth-and-5, Cooper hit Stafford as he unsuccessfully fired a pass to Parkinson for the turnover on downs. Love knelt in victory.
