The Packers welcomed 8,456 fans in Lambeau Field, and they made some noise, which was even noticed by the television broadcast. Every player said it made a difference. Hard not to get energy from the first home crowd of the year.
The Packers recorded their first five offensive possessions, which put the Rams under tremendous pressure. Rugby rugby tests in the first half yielded a 16-3 lead, and the Packers scored nine points on possession before and after the half to rise 25-10.
The Packers had just three penalties for 22 yards. The one was a very dubious home penalty on Rick Wagner. Matt LaFleur’s team generally played a clean game.
– Corner Jaire Alexander allowed only one catch in his coverage, according to Next Gen Stats.
– The defensive line Kenny Clark finally saw all his good work in the goal kick. He was in two different bags.
