The Packers came out this past weekend with a vengeance, obliterating the Seattle Seahawks on their way to a 38-10 shellacking to get themselves to 7-6.

Even with Aaron Rodgers sitting out practically a whole quarter of action, this game was out of hand fast for the Seahawks, and they never managed to even make a realistic dent in their deficit.
