The St. Louis defense forced three total turnovers from Rodgers, as they improve. But, as coach Jeff Fisher noted after the game, “We’re 1-1 since Todd got his opportunity”.

His last Lambeau interception was December 2, 2012, against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Packers (5-0) defense outplayed the offense for the second straight game. Green Bay slogged its way to a 17-3 victory at the San Francisco 49ers the previous week. “If we could have eliminated those two explosive plays, there is no telling what the outcome might have been”.
The Packers have done just about everything right organizationally over the past five-plus years, but lapses on defense and special teams have limited their championship prospects – to the point that coach Mike McCarthy was willing to give up play-calling duties so he could focus on the bigger picture.
Maybe so, but Rodgers will gladly share the ownership with a defense that can bail the offense out on occasion.

It was safety Earl Thomas who broke the drought for the group that includes Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor, picking off Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton on a pass underthrown for A.J. Green in the end zone. And at 2-3, the Rams are starting to realize that without a quarterback who can keep you in the game, very little else matters.
