From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
The Green Bay Packers return to the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams.
Green Bay has won eight of the last nine regular-season matchups with the Rams and 15 of the last 20.
The Packers face the Rams for the fourth consecutive season, the longest streak between the teams since 1988-97.
This will be Green Bay's first game at SoFi Stadium and their first road contest against the Rams since 2018. The Packers are the only NFC team and one of four NFL teams (Cincinnati, Houston, Indianapolis) that have yet to play a game at SoFi Stadium in the regular season.
The Packers have won four straight games over the Rams (including playoffs), with a combined point differential of plus-51. Green Bay scored 20-plus points in all four games (32, 36, 24, 20).
Green Bay has scored 20-plus points in each of the last 12 regular-season games against the Rams.
Including playoffs, this will be the 100th meeting between the Packers and Rams (Packers lead 50-47-2).
The Packers will be looking to beat the Rams in California for the first time since Dec. 18, 1966.
Since 2019, Green Bay is 7-1 against the NFC West in the regular season, an .875 winning percentage that ranks No. 1 in the NFC and No. 3 in the NFL over that span. The Packers also have a plus-eight turnover differential against the division over that span.
Under Head Coach Matt LaFleur, the Packers are 42-20 against NFC teams, a .677 winning percentage that ranks No. 1 in the conference since 2019.
Last year versus the Rams, QB Jordan Love completed 20 of 26 passes, a 76.9 completion percentage (second highest of his career), along with a TD and a passer rating of 115.5.
TE Luke Musgrave posted his first NFL touchdown catch on a 20-yard grab in the fourth quarter against the Rams last season and finished with a team-high 51 receiving yards on three catches (17.0 avg.).
DL Kenny Clark has posted 4.5 sacks in five games against the Rams (including the postseason). Dating back to 2018, that is the second-most sacks against the Rams by a player behind only 49ers DE Nick Bosa, who has recorded 6.5 sacks in 10 games.
DL Rashan Gary has faced the Rams twice in the regular season and once in the postseason, totaling 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and seven QB hits.
DL Preston Smith has three sacks, six QB hits and a fumble recovery in five regular-season games against the Rams.
CB Keisean Nixon has faced the Rams twice (2022-23) and has returned four kickoffs for 146 yards (36.5 avg.), including a return of 50-plus yards in each game (52, 51). He was the first NFL player to register a 50-plus yard kick return in consecutive games against the Rams since Seahawks RB Leon Washington (2011-12).
LB Quay Walker posted a sack, a forced fumble and two passes defensed in his only game against the Rams (2022).

Not feeling awesome about this one, even though the Rams lost to the Bears last week. It just has that feeling like we are potentially in the midst of a rut based on how bad we looked last week.
I just feel like theres no way you lose to a team like the Rams. I think their roster with their injuries makes them a pretty bad team. Their Olne should get picked apart. Key word being should.
nfc wc is gonna be tight this year. Our division is too good to give up the easy ones. Good think we have beaten two bad teams, time to add one more to list as we continue to figure stuff out. This should be an easy win. If we lose, its time to worry if this team knows how to win.

We need to come out and look good today. Seeing some of the other games, this conference has a surplus of good teams. Every other team in our division is ascending. Hell, I'm watching the Redskins right now and I even like what I'm seeing from them. We'd better damn well come out and play Packers football today because we could end up getting lost in the shuffle quickly at this rate.
