Passing the ultimate test

Next up for the Packers was the Seattle Seahawks.

The week before, Seattle looked fantastic as they blasted the reigning NFC champion Carolina Panthers, 40-7. The scoreline could have been heavier.

All that positive momentum came to a screeching halt when they arrived in Green Bay. The Packers showed what they can do with the team running on all cylinders.

Green Bay’s defense, once the team’s Achilles heel, accounted for six turnovers as they harassed QB Russell Wilson all day long, intercepting Seattle’s signal caller an astonishing five times.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns for the day and his favorite target was again Davante Adams. Adams had 104 yards and caught a touchdown on the third play from scrimmage as the Packers never had to look back.

The Packers routed the Seahawks at Lambeau. Packers 38, Seahawks 10.
