GREEN BAY - What was cool in the Packers victory over the Rams? First and foremost, the 10 play, 80 yard drive in the fourth quarter after the Rams had pulled to within 7. It ended with Aaron Rodgers 39 yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb and took 5:44 off the clock. That was football!

Of course, you know Rodgers and his receivers were outstanding, but in the trenches, Bryan Bulaga had a fine game against Chris Long. No pressures, one assisted tackle.

Pass protection as a whole started out on the spotty side, in particular for Marshall Newhouse, but once he settled in technique-wise, he and it were good.
