“I forgot how much you truly, truly miss having a crowd there," Aaron Rodgers gushed after the Packers dispatched the Rams. "It’s hard to really put into words how special that feeling is. But you can feel it. It’s so palpable.” 

Packers coach Matt LaFleur was convinced running the ball was vital to winning their NFC Divisional playoff showdown with the NFL’s No. 1 scoring defense, not only to be productive but to set up what he wanted to do in the passing game.

How Jared Goff leads the Rams into their NFC semifinal game against the Green Bay Packers at cold Lambeau Field will serve as a template for his future with the team.

"I'm just thankful for another opportunity to play with my teammates and in front of the fans," Smith told the Star-Tribune.

Slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson's move into the transfer portal sparks fan discussion about fleet QB Luke McCaffrey perhaps replacing him.

Through three December games, Aaron Jones has carried 50 times for 344 yards (6.9 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, and he’s eclipsed the 100-yard mark in five of his past seven December outings.

Only four weeks remain in the NFL season, which means the race for the Most Valuable Player Award is coming down to the wire.
