Green Bay returns to the NFC championship game with a solid home win against Los Angeles
Green golf packers I’m back in the NFC championship game after his disappointing loss last season.
packers They won the ticket with a solid victory against home Angels Aries, who missed the production of linear defensive star Aaron Donald, who played only 39 of his team’s 72 defensive pieces after suffering a rib injury during the Wild Card Round win over the Seattle Seahawks.
packers were dominant from the start of the game scoring points on first possession and Aries they had to paddle against the current all the time after Green golf took a 10-3 lead early in the second quarter so as not to lose it all the rest of the way.
These are the lessons I learned from the triumph packers on Aries in the divisional round:
THE KEY MOMENT
Allen Lazard’s touchdown in the fourth quarter. Despite the clear dominance of Green golf, the scoreboard remained closed until the last quarter that Aries they played the game 25-18. With that small gap, Aaron Rodgers took the ball to his line of 27 yards and was around the field in just under three minutes, thanks to a pass through the center of the field to Lazard, who escaped in the final area with a play of 58 yards. packers increased the lead to 32-18 after 7 minutes Angels.
KEY PLAYER
Aaron Rodgers. After a season of MVP caliber, all eyes were on Rodgers, and the defender fully complied, throwing for 296 yards and two touchdowns, and scored once on the field against a fierce defense like Aries who led the NFL allowing 18.5 yards per game during the regular season and kept the Seahawks at 20 points last week.
KEY STATISTICS
188 hasty yards. Yes, Rodgers was the star, but the help he received from the backfield made it easier. Aaron Williams finished with 14 carries for 99 meters and a touchdown, Jamaal Williams contributed 65 meters and AJ Dillon added another 27 before getting injured in the second half. The only player with negative yards was Rodgers (-3), who knelt three times in the last two minutes of the game to allow time to run on the clock.
CE NEXT
packers They finished No. 1 in the NFC, securing home for the entire postseason, so next week they will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers-New Orleans Saints winner on Sunday night.
Aries They went further than many thought, had their share of problems during the regular season, their main offensive and defensive players – defender Jared Goff and Donald – played limited injuries during the playoffs and still had a good game. show at Lambeau Field. Outside the season, they will have to focus on finding new receivers to help Goff and maintain a solid attack that will complement his great defense.
