AJ Dillon ran for two touchdowns as the Green Bay Packers earned a 24-12 win over the visiting Los Angeles Rams on a frigid Monday night.

With temperatures in the teens, Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of 30 passes for 229 yards with a touchdown and an interception as Green Bay (6-8) won its second straight game following a 1-7 skid.

Dillon and Aaron Jones combined for 28 carries for 126 yards, and the duo added a combined 71 receiving yards, with Jones catching a scoring pass.

Baker Mayfield, who rallied the Rams (4-10) to a last-minute victory in the team’s most recent outing, had no such magic in his first start for Los Angeles. He went 12 of 21 for 111 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Cam Akers rushed for 65 yards on 12 carries and added a team-high 35 yards on three catches.

The Packers broke open the game with a pair of third-quarter touchdowns. First, Dillon plunged in from 1 yard out to make it 17-6. Then, following a three-and-out by Los Angeles, Green Bay needed only six plays to find the end zone again, this time on a 7-yard pass from Rodgers to Jones.

The Rams answered back just over two minutes later with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Mayfield to Tyler Higbee. However, Matt Gay missed the extra point, keeping the margin at 24-12.

The teams exchanged fourth-quarter turnovers. Mayfield had his arm hit on a throw that was intercepted by Rasul Douglas. Two plays later, Jones fumbled and Jalen Ramsey recovered for Los Angeles.

A largely uneventful first half ended with the Packers ahead 10-6 thanks to a second-quarter TD run by Dillon.

Shortly after Los Angeles drew even at 3-3, Green Bay embarked on an 11-play, 74-yard drive that Dillon punctuated by dragging defenders into the end zone for an 8-yard score.

Brandon Powell returned the ensuing kickoff to the Los Angeles 35. That left the Rams needing just 28 yards to get in position for Gay’s 55-yard field goal that made it 10-6 in the final minute of the half.
