Packers vs Rams: Aaron Rodgers Channels His Inner Lamar Jackson in Second Quarter
Follow Us
By now we are accustomed to the dazzling runs made by Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. The Florida-born athlete has taken the ‘dual-threat quarterback’ role to a whole new level since bursting onto the scene in 2019.
After Michael Vick, one can say that Jackson is the next player to have transformed the quarterback position. However, veteran Green Bay Packers superstar, Aaron Rodgers, proved that he can do the same and more.
At 37, Aaron Rodgers started for the Packers in their Divisional Round Playoff against Los Angeles Rams. He had to wait until the second quarter to get his first passing touchdown of the game. Whom did he connect with? WR Davante Adams, of course.

Rodgers’ displayed swagger all through the first half as the Packers finished with a 19-10 lead. The Rams have shown that they can cause damage if given a window to attack. So the third quarter will be a crucial one for both teams involved.
We could see the Packers wreak havoc at their beloved Lambeau Field. But the opposite can also happen as Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey return to the field for revenge in the second half.
