Winner: Packers’ offensive line

Missing their best offensive lineman in David Bakhtiari, the Packers had their hands full going up the dangerous Rams’ line in this contest. Even with Aaron Donald battling a rib injury, this was a tough test for Green Bay. And they passed with flying colors.

The offensive line had a few misses, to be sure, but they kept Aaron Rodgers upright all game and didn’t allow the sack. Of course, it helped that Matt LaFleur targeted a quick passing game, but the entire line did their jobs well and should be proud of themselves.

Elgton Jenkins matched up with Donald throughout most of the game and frustrated the star. At one point, Donald grabbed Jenkins’ facemask and received a 15-yard penalty as a result. The line also dominated in the running game and opened up wide holes all night. It’s a huge strength for this team and something they’ll need more of moving forward.
