Rams vs. Packers 2015 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch online

The St. Louis Rams have shown a penchant for pulling off upsets under head coach Jeff Fisher. As the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel notes, St. Louis prevailed when it was a 9-point underdog against the Denver Broncos in 2014, a 7.5-point underdog against the Indianapolis Colts in 2013 and a 7-point underdog against the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals last Sunday. This week, the Green Bay Packers are 9.5-point favorites.

The Rams have one of the best defensive lines in football, with Chris Long, Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers and Robert Quinn leading the way. All four players were selected in the first round of the draft, and have made many of their upsets possible in recent years.

But though the Rams typically have little problem getting to opposing quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers is a different animal. In addition to being arguably the best passer in the game, Rodgers may be the most mobile quarterback in football. He seldom gets brought down when the pocket collapses, and is often at his most dangerous when he rolls to his right or left.

Rodgers is off to the best start of his illustrious career this season, completing 72.4 percent of his passes for 995 yards with 11 touchdown passes and zero interceptions. Rodgers leads the league in touchdowns and QB rating. Tom Brady is the only other quarterback who hasn't thrown an interception this season.

Despite losing star wideout Jordy Nelson for the season with an ACL injury during the preseason, the Packers' receiving corps hasn't faltered in the least. Green Bay might have made one of the shrewdest pickups of the offseason when it acquired receiver James Jones off the waiver wire at the end of training camp, who was released by the New York Giants. Jones has caught four touchdown passes this season in his second go-around with the club.

The Rams' best shot for stopping Rodgers may actually reside on the offensive side of the football. Rookie running back Todd Gurley made his season debut against the Cardinals last week, rushing for 155 yards on 25 carries. No matter how good the Rams' defensive line is, keeping Rodgers off the field for as long as possible might be their only hope to keep the Packers from pulling away.

In addition to a dominant offense that can seemingly score at will, the Packers' defense has proven it can make plays this year as well. Green Bay's defense is ranked eighth in total defense and tied for third in points allowed per game. They put forth their best effort of the season in last week's 17-3 rout of the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara.

The Packers' pass rush has been ferocious this season -- Green Bay has sacked opposing quarterbacks 17 times through four games. That doesn't bode well for Nick Foles, who is relatively slow of foot. Foles has completed 63.1 percent of his passes for 815 yards with five touchdowns and one interception in his first season in St. Louis. This will be a big test for him: not just to see how he handles the Green Bay pass rush, but if he can match Rodgers.
