WATCH: Packers CB Rasul Douglas pick-six vs. Rams in Week 12
The Green Bay Packers are dominating at Lambeau Field, and Rasul Douglas may have just sealed victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
It was a back-and-forth first half, but the Packers have taken complete control in the second half.
AJ Dillon caught a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers, then Mason Crosby added a field goal to give the Packers a 13-point lead.
As the Rams tried to quickly get back into the game, Matthew Stafford was under pressure and threw a pick-six to Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas. A deserved defensive touchdown for the Packers.
Douglas has been nothing short of incredible since signing with Green Bay earlier this year. He made the game-winning interception in the Thursday night game against the Arizona Cardinals, and has now all but sealed a victory over the Rams this afternoon.
There is still the fourth quarter to play in this game, but Douglas’ pick-six gave Green Bay a 19-point lead. The offense has been on fire throughout the game, and while the defense has given up some big plays, they have also impressed with plays like this one.
Douglas made a great play to first make the interception and then it return it for a touchdown, but Preston Smith also deserves a ton of credit for forcing Stafford to throw quickly. Had it not been for Smith’s pressure, Stafford would’ve had more time to complete a pass.
This would be a huge victory for Green Bay against another NFC rival. The game isn’t over yet, though, and they need to close it out in the fourth quarter.
