Jordan Love, Packers Down Rams To Get Back In Win Column
After falling to the Vikings in week four, Green Bay looked to get back on the hose on the road in Los Angeles.
There were some moments when that looked uncertain. But, they were ultimately able to get the job done.

Two drives later, the Rams answered with a Kyren Williams rushing touchdown early in the second quarter.
After back-to-back punts, the Green Bay offense came out looking to take the lead before halftime.
Unfortunately, with their back against the wall, a bad decision from Love ended up in a defensive touchdown for Los Angeles.

The Packers were able to tack on three in the two-minute drill but still went into the break facing a deficit.
Green Bay’s defense was able to make up for the mistake early in the third by forcing a fumble just outside the red zone.
The turnover set up a 66-yard touchdown connection from Love to Tucker Kraft.
Coming out of the half trailing 13-10, Love found Kraft for a 66-yard catch-and-run TD.

The Green Bay defense stepped up again on the next drive as they picked off Matt Stafford and returned it 28 yards to midfield.
It took just six plays for the Packers to get inside 10 yards.
Once again, Love found Kraft for his second touchdown of the afternoon.
Love and Kraft connected again later in the quarter to put Green Bay up 24-13. They held onto the lead down the stretch for their third win of the year.

The Rams were able to tack on one more TD in the fourth but a failed two-point conversion left them needing one more to take the lead.
The defense held on one more time and forced a turnover on downs to secure the 24-19 win.
