The Green Bay Packers lost a tight game against the Los Angeles Rams that showed they aren’t as far from contention as everyone seems to think they are.

The Green Bay Packers took on the Los Angeles Rams in a battle that was a possible NFC championship preview. While the Rams have been rolling all season, the Packers were looking to build some momentum heading into the back half of the season. After one quarter of play, the Packers looked like the 7-0 team, while the Rams looked like they had been stumbling all season long. They ended three straight Rams drives with third-down sacks.

After the first quarter, the tide started shifting and the Rams offense started clicking. While we still saw some plays out of the Packers on both sides of the ball, the Rams showed that they are a better team right now. At the end of the day, the Packers looked much better than they have so far, but they still have to play a full game. This could end up being that championship preview, but the Packers are the team that is more likely to miss right now.

The Packers (3-3-1) head to New England to take on the Patriots (5-2) in one of their biggest tests of the season. The Rams are the best team in the NFL right now, but the Patriots are certainly not far behind. Meanwhile, the Rams (8-0) head to New Orleans to take on the Saints (6-1) as they look to maintain their undefeated streak. This was one of the best games of this week, and that should be a top matchup next week.
