The Green Bay Packers created what could be one of the best games of the year and also one of the worst games of the NFL season so far during Sunday’s 24-19 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Jordan Love’s incredible deep ball to Jayden Reed got the Packers rolling early, but his pick-six – on a truly wild play – put Matt LaFleur’s team in a hole in the first half. It took tremendous efforts from a few teammates to help the Packers sort out the mess and escape Los Angeles with a much-needed road win.

Here’s the good, the bad and the ugly to come from the Packers’ win over the Rams:

The good

Tucker Kraft and Xavier McKinney: Two players helped turn the game around for the Packers in the second half. A pair of McKinney takeaways – a fumble and an interception – turned into a pair of Kraft touchdown catches, ultimately giving the Packers a decisive 24-13 lead. How good has McKinney been at taking the ball away? Not only does he have an interception in five straight games, but his six total takeaways are tied or more than 21 NFL teams through five weeks. Kraft had 10 catches, 141 yards and three touchdowns in the last two games.

Jayden Reed’s catch: There’s a good chance this will be the catch of the year in Green Bay. Perhaps also the throw of the year. Jordan Love’s deep throw – which traveled more than 60 yards in the air – landed right in the hands of Reed, who was between three defenders. The 53-year-old set up Josh Jacobs’ short touchdown run.

JORDANIAN LOVE. JAYDEN REED.

The bad

Packers run defense: The Rams averaged 4.8 yards per rush, and Kyren Williams went for over 100 rushing yards. The Packers have now allowed a 100-yard rusher in three of five games in 2024. To be fair, Jeff Hafley’s group has faced a gauntlet of running backs, including Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor, Aaron Jones and now Williams. Especially early, the Packers looked out in front. The Rams beat them on perimeter runs, and Williams consistently fought for tough yards between the tackles. The Packers face James Conner, Joe Mixon, Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery over the next three games. Can the run defense find some answers?

The ugly one

This series: It’ll be hard to top this for the worst game of the Packers season. Inflated protection, almost safe, pick-6. This is the definition of ugly from Jordan Love and the Packers.
