The Green Bay Packers scored a touchdown on the first drive of Sunday night’s showdown against the Seattle Seahawks and never looked back, leading the rest of the way with a 30-13 win at Lumen Field.

Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs, Josh Jacobs totaled 136 yards and the Packers defense recorded seven sacks and two takeaways in a mostly dominant performance against a Seahawks team that was leading the NFC West after four straight wins.

At 10-4, the Packers are in a great position to secure a playoff spot in Week 16.

Play balls

Attack – QB Jordan Love: He completed 20 or 27 passes, threw two touchdown passes, had no interceptions and posted a passer rating above 100.0 for the fifth straight game.

Defense – LB Edgerrin Cooper: The rookie returned to the field after a hamstring injury and recorded a sack, an interception, a pass breakup (near-interception) and two quarterback hits.

Special Teams – K Brandon McManus: His longest kick was only 39 yards, but McManus made all six kicks – three field goals and three extra points. A perfect evening in the foosball department is always something to celebrate at a prime time road game in December.

Key statistics

3: The number of net passing yards the Seahawks gained after Sam Howell came into the game for the injured Geno Smith. Howell completed just 5 of 14 passes for 24 yards and took four sacks for -21 yards. The Packers dominated a backup quarterback down the stretch.

Decisive factor

Four races in a row: The Packers won the throw, took the ball and led the field – behind Josh Jacobs – for a 7-0 lead. They set the tone and moved on early. Late in the first half, Carrington Valentine, up 17-3, intercepted Geno Smith in the end zone and the Packers scored a field goal. This momentum was huge at the start of the half.

Jordan Love watch

For the most part, Love was excellent against a Seahawks pass defense that came into the game ranked No. 1 in EPA allowed/dropback rating over the last four weeks. Love completed 20 of 27 passes for 229 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He averaged 8.5 yards per attempt, hit four different players for completions of 20 or more yards and finished the game with a passer rating of 123.8 – his fifth straight game above 100.0. He didn’t have an interception for the fourth straight game.

What’s next?

A visit from the 5-9 New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.” The Saints almost made their comeback, but lost to the Washington Commanders in New Orleans on Sunday. Keep an eye on the Saints quarterback situation in the coming week.

NFC North update

The Lions initially lost to the Bills and initially kept the Packers in a very narrow path to winning the NFC North. Here too a miracle is needed. To keep the dream alive, the Bears would have to beat the Vikings on Monday night. The Packers remain in third place in the division.
