GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers made sure he’d play an NFC Championship Game at home for the first time in his Hall of Fame-caliber career.
Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and also ran for a score as the Packers defeated the Rams 32-18 in an NFC divisional playoff game Saturday.
Green Bay’s offense overpowered the Rams’ vaunted defense much of the day. The Packers didn’t allow a sack despite playing without injured All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari (Serra High School) but Green Bay sacked Jared Goff (Marin Catholic-Kentfield) four times.
The Packers reached the NFC title game for the fourth time in seven seasons as they chase their first Super Bowl berth in a decade.
