PACKERS, RAMS FACE OFF IN ST. LOUIS
- Green Bay looks to get back to its winning ways today as it takes on the Rams in their home opener.
- The Packers lost a disappointing contest last weekend to the Bengals, 31-24, in which none of their three phases performed up to standard.
- Green Bay has considerable history with the Rams franchise, dating back to its days in Cleveland (1937-45) and Los Angeles (1946-94). Today marks the 89th all-time regular-season meeting between the two teams, with the Rams holding a slight 45-41-2 edge in the series.
- Including five contests against the St. Louis Cardinals, who played in the city from 1960-87, the Packers are 4-4-1 all-time in the city. They have won just twice by the Arch (1996, 2007) since Vince Lombardi left the team in the late 1960s.
- True to the close nature of the all-time series, the teams have split the last eight meetings, which included the 2001 NFC Divisional playoff game ..
