Sunday Night Football: The Packers dominate the first 30 minutes and lead the Seahawks 20-3 at halftime

The Packers were in good spirits and kept the pressure on the Seahawks through the first 30 minutes, taking a 20-3 lead by halftime.

Green Bay scored two touchdowns and two field goals on all four possessions in the first half. Jordan Love started the game 9 of 9 for 108 yards with a touchdown and finished the first half 12 of 13 for 142 yards with a touchdown. His only incompletion looked like a miscommunication in the end zone between him and Romeo Doubs.

But Doubs had already caught a 13-yard touchdown and stormed into the end zone after getting the ball at the 7-yard line.

Josh Jacobs also had a great first half, leading the team in both rushing with 73 yards and receiving with 38 yards on three catches. He opened the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown, capping Green Bay’s first drive. Jacobs had nine touches on the ball during this 10-play drive.

Green Bay finished the first half with 15 first downs, 235 total yards and 3 of 4 on fourth down.

In contrast, Seattle scored a 48-yard field goal early in the second quarter and had another scoring opportunity later in the same period. But quarterback Geno Smith threw a bad interception to cornerback Carrington Valentine in the end zone to end that threat.

Smith is 11 of 13 for 100 yards with a pick. Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the way with 60 yards on six catches. Zach Charbonnet had 19 yards on four carries.

Seattle center Olu Oluwatimi is unlikely to return due to a knee injury he suffered in the first half. The club brought in rookie Jalen Sundell to replace Oluwatimi at the position.

Packers linebacker Quay Walker had to leave the game late in the second quarter, which is significant as the team’s leading tackler. It is questionable whether he will return due to an ankle injury.

The Seahawks get the kickoff for the second half.
