Watch: Aaron Rodgers takes it himself for the Packers TD

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.
Facing a 3rd-and-goal down near the goal line, Aaron Rodgers used a pump fake in space to get Leonard Floyd off his feet before tip-toeing towards the front pylon for the Green Bay Packers’ second touchdown of the game:
The snap on the point after attempt was off the mark, but right now the Packers have a 16-3 lead over the Rams.
What seems to be giving the Los Angeles defense trouble is the myriad ways the Packers can attack them. When the Rams stay with the lighter boxes up front, Green Bay is having success running the football. When Rodgers retreats to throw, the Rams are struggling to get pressure on him, and both man and zone coverages in the secondary are failing to lock down his options downfield, including Davante Adams.
