The Rams enter this game with plenty of questions at quarterback. However, after nearly breaking his neck last week, John Wolford is ruled out and Jared Goff is the starter by default, after completing less than half of his passes last week. Defensively, Aaron Donald’s rib injury is the headline. He was removed from the Rams injury report and will be active, though Donald will likely be in a bit of pain. Still, the Rams defense as a whole is incredibly athletic and talented. They are the top-ranked defense in the league, allowing the fewest yards per play (4.6) and points per game (18.6).
Despite their offensive line injuries this season, this Packers offense has been rolling, thanks to MVP Aaron Rodgers. He threw for a career-high 48 touchdowns and five interceptions in the regular season, while also setting career-highs in completion percentage (70.7%) and QBR (84.4), while getting sacked the fewest times in his career as a starter (20). Davante Adams has certainly made his life easier, finishing the season with 1,374 yards and 18 touchdowns in only 14 games.
Defensively, this team has come up with big plays when they needed them, but not many other times. They averaged just 1.1 takeaways per game, which is tied for the fifth-worst in the NFL. Still, the main talking point by most people is their run defense. Many act the Packers’ defensive line parts the Red Sea like Moses. While they’re not great, they rank tied for 17th in yards per carry allowed (4.5).
