Game Recap: Packers Beat Seahawks 30-13

The recent matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks culminated in a decisive 30-13 victory for the Packers, showcasing their dominance throughout the game. Quarterback Jordan Love delivered an impressive performance, completing 20 of 27 passes for 229 yards, including two touchdown connections with Romeo Doubs . The Packers established an early lead and maintained control over the contest, demonstrating both offensive efficiency and defensive prowess.

Love threw for 229 yards and the two TDs to Doubs, and Green Bay ended the Seattle Seahawks' four-game winning streak with a 30-13 victory Sunday night.

It was the second touchdown, which Doubs caught as he was falling to the turf while tightly covered by Seattle's Devon Witherspoon with 4:59 left, that had opposing fans at Lumen Field loudly chanting “Go Pack Go!”

“The couple drives before that, we just felt like we weren’t getting much out of it, you know, we weren’t executing at that high level and making those plays we were making,” Love said. “To kind of have some of those drives stall out and then to put a drive down the field and finish with that touchdown out there — Romeo making a great catch — definitely helps you be able to breathe a little bit better.”

The teams traded field goals on their next two drives. Then a Smith interception in the red zone set up another field goal for the Packers as the first half expired, giving Green Bay a 20-3 lead at the break.

The second half was sloppy, with each team committing at least one turnover, as well as the Packers turning the ball over on downs. The tenor of the game changed on the third drive of the third quarter, when Smith had to leave after he took a hit to the legs on an incomplete pass. He was relieved by Sam Howell, who completed only five of his 14 attempts. 

The Packers went up 14-0 on Love's 13-yard pass to Doubs, who dragged two defenders with him into the end zone before waving at a television camera.

The Seahawks closed the gap on Jason Myers' 48-yard field goal, but McManus answered with a 38-yarder for the Packers.

The Seahawks drove to the Green Bay 12, but Smith's pass intended for Noah Fant was intercepted by in the end zone by Carrington Valentine, the first career pick for the second-year defensive back.

Conversely, the Seahawks faced significant challenges during the game. Starting quarterback Geno Smith exited due to a knee injury, which severely hampered Seattle's offensive capabilities. In his absence, Sam Howell struggled to find rhythm against a relentless Packers defense that recorded seven sacks and two interceptions. Coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged that poor performances across all three phases contributed to their defeat and emphasized learning from this experience moving forward.

The statistical breakdown further illustrates Green Bay's superiority; they dominated in first downs, total yards, time of possession, and turnovers. This victory not only improved the Packers' record to 10-4 but also reinforced their position as formidable contenders in the league. As both teams analyze this game’s implications on their respective seasons, it is evident that strategic adjustments will be necessary for future success.
