Everything you need to know ahead of the Green Bay Packers’ Thursday night game against the Seattle Seahawks.
On Thursday night, the Green Bay Packers look to buck a couple of trends.
The first is winning two games in a row. The Packers have been unable to put up back-to-back victories all season.
The other is the home field advantage on Thursday Night Football. Only two road teams in the NFL have come away with a victory on a Thursday night this season.
Can the Packers pull it off? Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game:
Date: Thursday, Nov. 15

A lot of the talk ahead of this game has been about the 2014 NFC Championship Game. It was, of course, the last game played between these two teams at CenturyLink Field. It will never be forgotten.
But since then, Green Bay is a perfect 3-0 against Seattle, winning in each of the past three seasons. But all three games were played at Lambeau Field.
It’s been a decade since the Packers last won a game in Seattle. If they can change that on Thursday night, they’ll go a long way to pulling themselves back into the playoff race, while also potentially finishing off another wild-card contender.
This is a huge game for both teams. Seattle is 4-5 but has only played three games at home. The Seahawks have an opportunity to stay in playoff contention if they can win their home games. That begins on Thursday night.
For Mike McCarthy’s team, it’s about building on last week’s success. We’ve seen this team go on a winning run in the past. It could happen again. But they must make it past a tough test against the Seahawks.
