Green Bay Packers beat Los Angeles Rams to move into NFC Championship game

Aaron Rodgers is expected to be named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player this season after MVPs in 2011 and 2014

The Green Bay Packers moved into the NFC Championship game for the second successive season as they beat the Los Angeles Rams 32-18.

Davante Adams scored his 19th touchdown of the season from Aaron Rodgers’ pass, before Rodgers ran in from a yard out.

Van Jefferson’s diving catch gave the Rams hope, but Aaron Jones bundled over for the Packers in the second half.

Cam Akers scored for the Rams before Rodgers connected with Allen Lazard for a 58-yard touchdown to seal the win.

The Packers will play either the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the New Orleans Saints, who meet on Sunday (23:40 GMT).

Last season, the Packers lost 37-20 to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game and have not reached a Super Bowl since they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 in Super Bowl XLV 10 years ago.
