The recent history of each team differed greatly: the Rams had missed the playoffs in 1981 for the first time in eight seasons, while the Packers had not been to the playoffs since 1972 and had not won a playoff game since 1967. The Rams began the game strong, scoring 23 points in the first half, while shutting the Packers out. The Rams took advantage of five Packers' first half turnovers. The game swung wildly towards the Packers in the second half though. Quarterback Lynn Dickey led the Packers to 35 unanswered points off of five touchdown drives. The Packers defense held the Rams to just four first downs in the second half, while intercepting the Rams twice and forcing a fumble. The 23-point comeback was the largest by the Packers up to that point, but was later matched in 2013 in a game against the Dallas Cowboys. The game has been mentioned multiple times as one of the best in the history of the Rams versus the Packers.

In the first quarter, Gerry Ellis fumbled the ball on a short run, which was returned by the Rams to mid-field.

Another Packers fumble, this time by Dickey while he was avoiding the Rams' pass rush, set-up another score. The Rams thought they scored a touchdown on the drive, but an offensive penalty forced them to accept a short field goal attempt, which was converted by Mike Lansford to increase the lead to 10–0. With the Packers still unable to do much on offense, the Rams scored again. After a 43-yard pass from Jones to Willie Miller put the Rams in scoring position, Jones completed an eight-yard pass to Barber for a touchdown, bringing the score to 17–0. The Rams had two more scoring drives, each ending in a Lansford field goal. The first was set-up by a long punt return, while the second came after Dickey threw an interception to Carl Ekern.
