The Green Bay Packers will battle the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks in what could be a playoff preview on Sunday night. Here is a look at the matchups.
The misfortune for the Packers started with the infamous Fail Mary Game in 2012, when replacement officials ruled that Golden Tate caught a pass that should have been ruled an interception by former Packers safety MD Jennings.
The Seahawks’ offensive line has struggled this season, resulting in Geno Smith being sacked 40 times. Bless Zayne Anderson for doing yeoman’s work, including a key third-down stop on Detroit’s final possession, but he’s a career special teams player. The Packers did get a takeaway from Goff when Nixon picked him off to set up a go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter. However, Goff completed his final 13 passes and mostly had plenty of time in the pocket.
The Packers, who were notoriously awful at stopping the run under coach Matt LaFleur, are ninth in rushing yards allowed per game and seventh in yards allowed per carry. Romeo Doubs practiced last week, but has not cleared the concussion protocol. If he clears this week, the Packers will have their full stable of receivers against Seattle’s defense.
Against the Cardinals, safety Coby Bryant had his team-high third interception. Seattle has 11 this season, which is tied for 10th in the league. It’s 11th in opponent passer rating, including third the last three games.
