Green Bay Packers vs Los Angeles Rams Live Scores & Stats – October 6, 2024 GameTracker

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) Jordan Love returned from his first career pick-6 to throw a pair of touchdown passes to Tucker Craft in the second half as the Green Bay Packers rallied for a 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

The Packers trailed 13-7 in the second quarter when Jaylen McCollough intercepted Love's off-balance attempt to throw the ball and ran in from 4 yards out. But Green Bay (3-2) scored on its next three drives and benefited from a pair of turnovers to beat the Rams (1-4) for the ninth time in their last 10 regular-season meetings.

Love, a California native who grew up in Bakersfield, completed 15 of 26 for 224 yards in his second start since missing two games with a knee injury.

Josh Jacobs had 19 carries for 73 yards and scored his first TD with the Packers.

Craft had four receptions for a career-best 88 yards. After Xavier McKinney recovered a fumble by Rams running back Karen Williams and returned it 7 yards to the Green Bay 30, Love Craft connected for a 66-yard touchdown to give the Packers a 17–13 lead.

Kraft caught the ball at the Rams 49, eluded tight-armed Rams cornerback Darrius Williams at the 30 and a diving tackle attempt by Quentin Lake at the 20 before reaching the end zone.

McKinney became the first player since the merger in 1970 to throw an interception in each of his first five games with a team, Kraft completed a seven-play drive when he scored from 7 yards out for the first two-TD game of his career.

Matthew Stafford was 29 of 45 for 260 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Kieren Williams ran for 102 yards on 22 carries and scored for the eighth straight game.

Stafford's 1-yard touchdown pass to DeMarcus Robinson — a 2-point conversion attempt failed — pulled the Rams within 24-19 with 3:30 left.

Los Angeles forced Green Bay to punt on the ensuing possession and took over at their 29 with 2:57 left. The Rams drove to the Packers 38, but Stafford couldn't connect with Colby Parkinson on fourth-and-5 with 1:01 left.

After both teams went three-and-out on their opening drives, Jacobs scored on a 2-yard run down the right end. Jacobs originally tried to run it from left tackle before bottling up and reversing field.

Jacobs' score was set before a play when Love and Reed combined for a highlight reel play. On second-and-10 at the Packers 45, Love completed a 53-yard pass to Reed in a tight window near the left sideline. Reid takes it despite having three Rams defenders around him, including Lake behind him.

The Rams tied it five minutes into the second quarter when Williams plowed in from 1 yard out to complete a 13-play drive. Williams has the longest TD streak by the Rams since Greg Bell scored 10 straight in the 1988 and '89 seasons.

Love's first pick-6 came on his 761st pass. On third-and-12 at the Packers 8, Byron Young came unblocked on a blitz and the gain was forced out of the pocket. Love scrambled to the back of the end zone and was off balance when he tried to throw it.

Instead, McCullough managed to intercept the desperation throw and scored. Joshua Carty's extra-point attempt was blocked, making it 13-7.

It was the Rams' first defensive TD since Kobe Durant's 86-yard interception return against Denver on Christmas Day in 2022.

Packers: CB Robert Rochelle (Stinger) missed the second quarter and part of the third before returning.

Packers: Host Arizona next Sunday.

Rams: Their bye before hosting Las Vegas on Oct. 20.
