Steven Jackson got the Rams started with two tough runs, then a third-down reception to move the chains. He is getting all the touches he can handle in this contest.

Alex Barron earned his second false-start penalty of the game. Marc Bulger worked to overcome that, hitting Isaac Bruce for 10 yards. But he bounced his third-down pass off Bruce  to Atari Bigby, who grabbed his second interception..  

Cornerback Ron Bartell saved a touchdown by swatting away Brett Favre’s third-down bomb to Donald Driver, but Mason Crosby kicked a 50-yard field goal to expand Green Bay’s lead to 20-14.

Back came the Rams, with Jackson pounding away on the ground. But a personal foul penalty on Milford Brown backed up the Rams and forced Scott Linehan to be careful with his playcalling.

And Bulger almost went down for the count on a Packers blitz, barely ducking under a huge hit. So the possession that started promisingly ended badly.

Rams defensive end Victor Adeyanju broke up a screen pass and nearly scored an interception as the Packers came back at the Rams on a short field.
He wishes he made that play, because Greg Jennings broke wide open behind the Rams defense on the next play for a 44-yard TD catch. Yikes!

Where did the Rams secondary go on this play? With that big strike, the Packers pushed their lead to 27-14. Who could have possibly guessed that the Rams would crumble in the second half again?

Bulger tried to rally his guys with completions to Drew Bennett and Randy McMichael. After Bruce dropped a would-be first-down pass, Linehan went for it on fourth-and-one — and got the first down with a little counter-pitch play to Jackson.

On third-and-13, the Rams broke Bennett free for a 16-yard reception  to finally get back  into scoring range.
