There was a lot working against the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round, facing a 13-3 Green Bay Packers team that was healthy and fully loaded. The Rams, on the other hand, were banged up and missing two key starters, Cooper Kupp and David Edwards.
Ultimately, the Packers were just too much for the Rams to handle. Los Angeles came up short at Lambeau Field, falling 32-18 to the Packers on Saturday afternoon.
It was a hard-fought game that was closer at times than the final score indicates, but the Rams’ season now comes to an end at the hands of the top-seeded Packers.

Keys to the game
It was over when...
…Aaron Rodgers hit Allen Lazard for a 58-yard touchdown with 6:52 left in the game. That put the Packers up 32-18 with little time left on the clock, and all but sealed the victory for Green Bay.
Troy Hill just got beat on the play and couldn’t recover, and Jordan Fuller wasn’t deep enough to prevent the touchdown.

Play of the game

It wasn’t much of a highlight-reel play, but Cam Akers’ 7-yard touchdown out of the wildcat formation was what kept the Rams in this ballgame. The score made it 25-18, Packers, with just 1:41 left in the third quarter.
After two unsuccessful wildcat runs earlier in the game, Akers finally broke through with a touchdown on this 7-yard carry.
And then after that touchdown, Sean McVay dug deep into his bag of tricks and called a perfect hook-and-ladder on the two-point attempt, which was successful.

The Rams will now shift to offseason mode and begin preparing for next season. That comes after some R&R, of course, giving players and coaches some time off after a successful and impressive season.
Free agency will begin in March, the draft will be in April and as long as everything stays on schedule, OTAs and minicamps will be around the corner in May and June.
