with 33-14 victory over Rams
|
Postgame Recaps, Storylines,
and News |
Brett Favre erased Dan Marino's
name from the NFL record book
once again and the Packers all
but assured another deep playoff
run for their Hall of Fame
quarterback with a convincing
win over the Rams that earned
them a first-round bye.
Green Bay won its sixth road
game of the season in front of a
partisan crowd full of
Cheeseheads. Aiding Favre's
record-breaking performance was
a ferocious Packer defense that
beat up on Rams QB Marc Bulger,
back after missing two games
with a concussion. Bulger was
picked off twice by Atari Bibgy
and sacked four times.
The lone bright spot for St.
Louis was Steven Jackson. The
star back had 143 yards on 23
carries for the Rams, who
fizzled after tying it at 14 on
Jackson's 46-yard run early in
the second quarter...

PACKERS: In position to
gain a first-round bye in the
playoffs possibly Sunday, the
heavily favored Packers don't
figure to be taking it easy in
the company of a three-win
opponent. Aside from the setback
at Dallas two games ago, Green
Bay has been unflappable on the
road.
The offense is anticipating a
lot of pressure from St. Louis'
blitz-happy defense at the
outset. To counteract and try to
sustain drives to get the game
in their favor early, the
Packers figure to stick with the
hot hand, er, feet of halfback
Ryan Grant and mix in quick
slants and shallow crosses for
Brett Favre to get the ball out
in time...FULL

RAMS: Somehow, the Rams
have to figure out a way to run
the ball on the Packers to open
up the passing game and create
manageable passing situations.
The offensive line will have to
find a way to keep pass rushers
away from whomever the
quarterback ends up being.
Defensively, pick your
poison. Try and stop the
hard-charging RB Ryan Grant or
find a way to defend QB Brett
Favre. Not an easy task for any
defense...FULL
