Quarterback Brett Rypien made his fourth NFL
start and first for the Rams in place of Matthew Stafford, who
sat out with a right thumb injury. Rypien completed 13 of 28
passes for 130 yards and an interception.
The Rams (3-6) have lost four of five and three consecutive as
they head into their bye week.
On Los Angeles' second drive, Rypien fumbled while under
pressure from Jonathan Owens and De'Vondre Campbell recovered at
the Rams' 44 yard line.
The Packers capitalized on the short field when Jones scored on
a 3-yard run, giving Green Bay a 7-0 lead with 14:19 left in the
second quarter.
Rookie Lucas Havrisik, in his second game with the Rams, kicked
a 52-yard field goal with 1:42 left in the first half to cut the
deficit to 7-3. Los Angeles would not score again.
The Packers' Keisean Nixon returned the second-half kickoff 51
yards to the Green Bay 47, but receiver Dontayvion Wicks fumbled
on the next play as he tried to stretch the ball across the
first-down line and the Rams recovered at their own 42.
The drive stalled, however, and the Rams elected to punt rather
than attempt a 53-yard field goal.
The Packers lost another fumble at the end of a first-down run
by Jones, leading to a 49-yard field goal attempt by Havrisik,
which sailed wide right.
Green Bay then drove inside the Los Angeles 10, but had to
settle for a 26-yard field goal by Anders Carlson after Love was
sacked by Aaron Donald on third-and-2, increasing the lead to
10-3 with 2:10 left in the third quarter.
Rypien was intercepted early in the fourth quarter by Anthony
Johnson Jr., leading to a 34-yard field goal by Carlson that
extended the lead to 13-3 with 9:08 left.
The Packers put the game away when Love found tight end Luke
Musgrave over the middle for a 20-yard touchdown completion and
a 20-3 lead with 3:41 left.
