Rams takeaways: Defense better, but offense lags vs. Packers

When the Rams drove to the Packers four-yard line in the first quarter and Matthew Stafford fired a fourth-down pass that fell incomplete, the trend of struggling to score touchdowns from inside the 20-yard line was once again in full force in force.

However, the Rams scored touchdowns the next two times they reached the red zone.

Kyren Williams scored on a one-yard run in the second quarter, and Stafford threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson in the fourth.

Williams rushed for a season-best 102 yards in 22 carries. He has scored seven touchdowns and rushed for at least one in every game.

However, Williams regretted the fumble he lost that led to an eventual touchdown for the Packers.

“I have to be better, when I know I’m in traffic, when I know I’m getting wrapped up and I’m still trying to get more yards, to wrap up the ball,” Williams said. “That’s the most important thing, and I didn’t do that.”

Rookie Blake Corum, a third-round draft pick, rotated with Williams for the first time and rushed for 25 yards in five carries. He also had an eight-yard reception.
