Packers 2022 schedule release: Top 5 must-see matchups

3. Packers vs. Rams

The defending Super Bowl champions will visit Lambeau Field for the third season in a row.

Matt LaFleur’s team has gotten the better of the Los Angeles Rams the past two seasons, including last year.

In the divisional round of the playoffs in the 2020 season, Green Bay dominated Los Angeles with a 32-18 victory.

Last season, the Rams returned with an improved roster, including Matthew Stafford at quarterback and Odell Beckham Jr. at wide receiver. The outcome was the same, this time the Packers winning 36-28.

And let’s be honest, that scoreline flattered the visitors. The game wasn’t all that close.

Green Bay has enjoyed success over Los Angeles the past two years, but none of that mattered as the Rams went all the way to Super Bowl glory this past February.

The defending champions will be aiming to achieve rare back-to-back Super Bowl victories. They enter 2022 as one of the best teams in the NFC.

Now with the experience of winning tough games in the playoffs, Sean McVay’s team could be even better this season.

This is an NFC showdown that belongs in primetime. It could also be the first of two meetings, should these teams clash in the postseason next January.
