It was a disappointing season for the Packers. They won just six games despite Aaron Rodgers starting all of them, and were 1-7 on the road. But it could’ve been a lot different.
In Week 8, the Packers met the LA Rams on the road. Green Bay had its bye in Week 7 and entered the game at 3-2-1. The Rams were a perfect 7-0.
But Mike Pettine’s defense was able to achieve what no other team had managed so far in the season. They shut down LA’s dominant offense for almost the entire first half, forcing punts on the Rams’ opening five possessions.
