The Green Bay Packers kept their chances of making the NFL playoffs alive by beating the Los Angeles Rams 24-12 in the Monday Night Game to close out the 15th day of play.
At home in Lambeau Field, the Cheeseheads put on a composed performance in freezing temperatures and came away with a balanced game that featured 30 passes and 35 runs.
Running back A.J. Dillon scored two rushing touchdowns, but later had to leave the field with a suspected concussion. Aaron Jones also got on the score sheet with a touchdown after a pass from quarterback superstar Aaron Rodgers.
