In yet another strong offensive display, Aaron Rodgers helped the Green Bay Packers secure a spot in this year’s NFC Championship game.
The veteran quarterback was at his destructive best in Saturday’s Divisional Round Playoff win over the Los Angeles Rams. Rodgers was unstoppable on all fronts as he went 23 of 36, throwing for 296 yards with 2 passing touchdowns.
He also had a rare rushing touchdown in the second quarter, which would have made Lamar Jackson proud. All in all, the Packers did enough as they sealed a deserving 32-18 win against the Rams at Lambeau Field tonight.
