GREEN BAY — Aaron Rodgers made sure he would play an NFC championship game at home for the first time in his Hall of Fame-caliber career.
Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another as the top-seeded Green Bay Packers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 32-18 in an NFC divisional playoff game Saturday.
The Packers’ potent offense overpowered the Rams’ vaunted defense for much of the day, racking up 484 total yards. The Packers didn’t allow any sacks despite playing without injured All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari, while they sacked Jared Goff four times.
The Packers reached the NFC championship game for the fourth time in seven seasons as they chase their first Super Bowl berth in a decade.
