The Packers capped their dominant first quarter with their second TD

GREEN BAY – When the Packers went 80 yards for a touchdown on their second possession in Sunday night’s eight-play win at Seattle, they capped their best offensive start to a game in more than a calendar year.

That makes it the Chevy Drive of the Week after the 30-13 win over the Seahawks.

Already up 7-0, Green Bay picked up where it left off when it got the ball for the second time, throwing a short pass to RB Josh Jacobs, who made a few plays for a 21-yard gain . Jacobs had touched the ball on nine of the Packers’ 10 plays on their first TD drive, totaling 44 yards on that possession.

Now he was building his massive first quarter.

After a 9-yard completion to WR Jayden Reed, the Packers picked up another first down on RB Emanuel Wilson’s 1-yard run. It then went back to Jacobs for a 19-yard carry from the left side, giving him a total of 40 yards on that drive and 84 yards in that span.

Reed followed with another 9-yard gain on an end-around, and RB Chris Brooks moved the chains again with a 6-yard run for a first down at the Seattle 15. A short 2-yard completion to Reed came in Slant pass to WR ahead Romeo Doubs, who had missed the last two games with a concussion and was getting his number for the first time.

All Doubs did was drag one defender and run over another to get across the goal line for a 13-yard score, giving the Packers a 14-0 lead, and the Seahawks were coming never come close to a point again.

Green Bay scored two touchdowns on its first two drives in a game for the first time since beating Kansas City at Lambeau Field in late November last year.
