On Monday night, Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas did something similar. He brought down a pick early in the fourth, and as he began running it back, he was caught by the shirttail by Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek, who tried to bring him down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Instead, and despite not desperately needing any points, Douglas decided to throw a lateral. However, he threw it to no one in particular. Fortunately, the Packers, who released veteran wide receiver Sammy Watkins only hours before the game, recovered and kept the Rams from having another scoring opportunity.<\/p>\n
That was atypical of how the night went for the Packers. QB Aaron Rodgers passed for 229 yards and a score, although he threw one interception and was sacked three times.<\/p>\n
Rams QB Baker Mayfield had difficulty finding a rhythm after his strong performance last week. He only threw for 111 yards and one TD, and added one interception. He went down five times as the offensive line allowed the Packers’ defense to penetrate.<\/strong><\/p>\nIt\u2019s tough playing at Lambeau Field, and even tougher when the mercury drops. The temperature was as low as 15 F, but that\u2019s shorts and sandals weather for the Pack.<\/p>\n
The Rams will host the Denver Broncos this Sunday, giving Mayfield another chance to prove himself. The Packers travel to Miami to face the Dolphins the same day.<\/p>\n
Bettors See Mixed Results<\/h2>\n
All of the sportsbooks favored the Packers to win. However, the books also expected the Rams to provide a little better offensive effort.<\/p>\n
The over\/under was set at around 39 for the game, and the total came up just short. The trend has been for the “under” to hit this NFL<\/a> season, although “over” bettors will likely place the blame for their loss on the shoulders of the Packers.<\/p>\n
