How the Los Angeles Rams are showing everyone they're scared of the Green Bay Packers

The Los Angeles Rams are the defending Super Bowl champions, but that doesn't mean they're the most intimidating team in the NFC.
That honor still goes to the Green Bay Packers.
And we have proof.
According to longtime NFL reporter Peter King, the Rams have asked the NFL if they can be the Packers' opponent for Green Bay's "home game" in London this season.
The London games will be hosted by Green Bay and New Orleans at Tottenham Stadium, and by Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium. These games will be played in close proximity, likely between Weeks 5 and 8, on Sundays. Crazy to think about this, but I hear the Rams have told the league they wouldn’t mind being the Packers’ foe in London … if the league planned to put the Rams in Lambeau Field late in the season.
I know the Packers haven't won a Super Bowl in over a decade. But that doesn't change that Lambeau Field in November/December is still one of the scariest places to play for opposing NFL teams.
Los Angeles clearly wants no part of freezing cold weather and one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. The fact the Rams are asking to go to London — something most NFL teams seemingly want to avoid — tells us all we need to know about how LA and the rest of the NFL view the Packers this season.
The Rams might be the defending champs, but the NFC championship still goes through Green Bay.
