"The offensive line was fantastic," Rodgers said via Packers.com. "One phantom sack, the gift I gave my workout buddy Greg Gaines with the zero-yard sack on the scramble. I thought they did a nice job. I thought we mixed it up with the quick game, getting the ball out of my hand."

"I just think the front seven as a whole with DC (De'Vondre Campbell), Krys (Barnes), they just did a really good job at filling the holes and bringing those double-teams off of us after they got done with their work," said defensive lineman Kenny Clark via Packers.com. "I think the front seven played a really good game, in the run game."

Yosh = MVP... Going against Leonard Floyd, Von Miller, Aaron Donald and he didn't even allow a sack, as well as a fumble recovery on the day is an MVP in my book. Even if Bakhtiari had a game like that it would be impressive! Yosh has been a very underrated Tackle this season and I hope we can find a way to keep him at the end of the year for solid depth next season if we find ourselves banged up again.

No. Nijman is an ERFA in 2022. He's a lock to be placed under contract.

He is a RFA so Packers may have to put a nice tender on him to make sure another team doesn't try to scoop him up.

"but had Green Bay abandoned the run game and became one-dimensional, this could have turned ugly."
Remember that the Packers had 82 offensive snaps. That's about a 37% run rate...which isn't all that much, but looks like a lot next to the Rams' 30% run rate.

The 82 snaps is really a high number…..something around 65 is more common. This is the best offense in the league at staying on the field. No turnovers, one “phantom “ sack, few penalties…..I’m frankly amazed that LaFleur and Rodgers consistently protect the rock, move the chains, and score points so well through all the injuries..

That's what makes the greats so special. In the late 00s and early 10s with Shields/Wood/Tramon/Collins. Maaaan we were spoiled.

I'm surprised Taylor got no carries Jones was obviously on a snap count and Slaton not many snaps yet he was tossing Vikings O lineman aside, every yard earned by Dillon was a battle , but he delivered!

AR's targets were behind the LOS or 0-9 yards downfield on 26 attempts.
13 targets 10+ yards. Several throwaways that where the ground was the target.
79% in shotgun.
AR checked down often. Shotgun all game long. LaFleur's plan was to help out his offensive line against the vaunted Rams' defensive line of Donald, Greg Gaines, and Ashawn Robinson (with Gaines being better than Robinson, just not as big of a name). Good plan, since it was needed, and a nice effort.
