In a game that had huge playoff implications, the Packers came into Seattle and dominated the Seahawks 30-13, improving to 10-4 on the year and getting one step closer to the postseason.

The Packers opened the game in impressive fashion, marching down the field for a touchdown on the first possession, thanks in large part to Josh Jacobs. The veteran running back posted 34 total yards on the first drive, which ended in a rushing touchdown to open the scoring. Jacobs finished with 136 total yards and the score.

From there, Green Bay didn't look back. The Packers scored another touchdown on their next drive, and they followed that up with two field goals. The Seahawks, meanwhile, struggled to move the ball, as they were only able to collect three points in the first half.

In the second half, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was forced from the game with a knee injury after a Packers defender tackled him low. Smith was not able to return, giving way to backup Sam Howell the rest of the way.

Regardless of who was in at quarterback, Green Bay's defense dominated, forcing two interceptions and collecting seven sacks on the night. On the flip side, the Seahawks were not able to sack Jordan Love once, although they did force a Josh Jacobs fumble that led to their lone touchdown drive.

With the win, the Packers remain one game ahead of the Commanders for the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs. A Vikings loss on Monday would get Green Bay within one game of Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Seahawks dropped to 8-6 and lost their hold of first place in the NFC West, as the Rams moved to the top of the standings.
