QUARTER 4
12:14 | Packers 21, Seahawks 20 Well, well, well. The Seahawks are playing the Packers. It's primetime. Of course this was going to be close. The Seahawks drive into Green Bay territory, but they are forced to settle for another Sebastian Janikowski field goal. Now, the question is: Will the ending be as controversial as …
QUARTER 3
6:48 | Packers 21, Seahawks 17 Another day, another terrific punt. With the Seahawks back in their own territory, punter Michael Dickson caught the snap around the Seahawks' 4 yard line and unleashed another gem of a punt, high and deep, 59 yards to the GB 25. Green Bay managed only a 9- yard return. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the epitome of "flipping the field."
8:57 | Packers 21, Seahawks 17 The Seahawks were going to miss the presence of K.J. Wright. He's that good of a player. But both Barkevious Mingo and Austin Calitro have really struggled trying to replace him in this game. Mingo missed assignment in the first series and was late getting on the field. Calitro has been marginally better. But had the opportunity to tackle the packers.
To end the Packers 'drive, it was rookie defensive lineman Jacob Martin coming up with the Seahawks' second sack of Aaron Rodgers.

HALFTIME
Halftime thoughts from Bob Condotta:
- Well, down 21-17, is the heck of a lot better than down 17-3, which is what Seattle could have been at the end of the first quarter. A goal in Green Bay's missed field goal and then Seattle in the second quarter of the Seahawks right back in this one. As I noted in my preview today, Seattle has won only one of its four games this year when trailing at halftime – the Seahawks were down 10-7 at Arizona before coming back to win late.
- Wilson with the second quarter bounceback after the really rough first. He was 10-11 for 101 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter.
- Doug Baldwin is really getting into this game for a while, and he's got some receptions for 30 yards and his first touchdown of the season. The targets of the most he has had for a game all season. He had eight targets with six receptions against the Raiders in London.
- Seattle really has to tighten up its defense, though, as it has allowed 245 yards. Not sure they can beat Green Bay if the Packers get 490.
QUARTER 2
0:02 | Packers 21, Seahawks 17 "Is that for me? Nick Vannett looked for parts when Russsell Wilson chucked the ball in his general direction on the end of a run at the Green Bay 46. The surprise pass on the end of an 18-yard Wilson scramble, clearly trying to just make something happened. But he ended up getting penalized for an illegal forward pass. With that … halftime.
3:22 | Seahawks 17, Packers 14 Russell Wilson can air it out too much. On the first of the Seahawks' 30s, Wilson heals for Tyler Lockett who's racing down the right sideline. Lockett was covered by two defenders and could not be caught up with the catch. Aim, oh wait, the flag gets tossed, and a defensive pass interference on Raven Greene gives Seattle the ball at GB 22. A pass to Nick Vannett takes it to the 1, and Chris Carson runs it in from there. All of a sudden, who has the lead.
4:54 | Packers 14, Seahawks 10 Ten games. Nine sacks. Frank Clark has had plenty of this season, claiming at least half a decade in his team's 10 games. That trend continued on Thursday, when the 25-year-old defensive lineman dragged down Aaron Rodgers to end a packers drive in the second quarter. Clark has two tackles, one tackle for loss and one sack thus far.

8:04 | Packers 14, Seahawks 10 A drive that just kept going in the end zone. Russell Wilson connects with Doug Baldwin for Seattle's first TD. And, as customary, the celebration was even better than the play.
There are only so many carries to go around.
And, Mike Davis – the Seahawks' starter last week against the Rams – has yet to get one. Chris Carson has rushed eight times for 42 yards, while rookie Rashaad Penny has burst for 46 yards on five carries. Wide receiver Tyler Lockett has also been on time for one yard.

QUARTER 1
First-quarter thoughts from Bob Condotta:
- Without K.J. Wright, Seattle is mostly going with a nickel defense and using Bobby Wagner and Barkevious Mingo as the linebackers. But Austin Calitro did get a few snaps in the base defense.
- Hey, did a bad start for Russell Wilson against Green Bay at home? Feels like we've seen that before. FWIW, Seattle is 3-0 at home against Green Bay in the Wilson era and two featured two of the most memorable comebacks in team history. So maybe there is another one upcoming.
- Seattle was running the ball well, with 62 yards on eight carries.
1:45 | Packers 14, Seahawks 3 Rashaad Penny was questionable to return. Then, on the very next series, he returned. After he appeared to be angry he was a weaving 30-yard run in the first quarter, the Seahawks' rookie running back to back to the field to start the second drive. Penny – who rushed for 108 yards against the Rams last Sunday – currently has two carries for 27 yards. But Seattle goes three-and-out again. That's two three-and-outs, one turnover and one field goal thus far for the Seahawks.

3:21 | Packers 14, Seahawks 3 How good is Aaron Rodgers? The Packers' quarterback uncorked a 54-yard pass and hit tight end Robert Tonyan (who? Exactly.) In the end zone of Bradley McDougald. This is why Rodgers is a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
6:04 | Packers 7, Seahawks 3 After Mason Crosby misses a chance to extend the Packers' lead to 10, the Seahawks take over and Rashaad Penny runs roughshod … for a play. He goes all over the field to pick up 30 yards but comes up gimpy and is questionable to return. The Seahawks can not wait in the end zone and settle for a Sebastian Janikowski field goal.
13:46 | Packers 7, Seahawks 0 Well, the Seahawks have had better starts to a game. Worse? Debatable. Chris Carson fumbles the first carry of the game. Aaron Rodgers after Green Bay recovers makes his first pass to Jimmy Graham (in his return to SeattleAaron Jones rushes eight yards into the end zone.
pregame
Veteran linebacker K.J. Wright was one of Seattle's seven inactive players, continuing to struggle with soreness in a knee that he had surgically repaired in August. Wright returned in week seven and played in three games but did not finish last week against the Rams and did not practice this week.
Other inactive included defensive Donna Jordan, who was questionable with a knee issue. Coach Pete Carroll said he had a chance to play against the Packers but this week-end also wanted to play it cautious.
Jordan has played in seven games this season, inactive due to health in three others.
Other inactive were: RB C.J. Prosise, cornerback Neiko Thorpe, safety Delano Hill, OL Ethan Pocic and defensive tackle Poona Ford.
Ford being inactive means Seattle is going to be in the middle of things. Pocic, a second-round pick of LSU last year, has played in just five games this season.
Chris Carson was sidelined. But with Carson again healthy, Seattle is going with its usual tailbacks of Carson, Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny. Prosise, a third-round pick in 2012, has also played in just five games this season.
Thorpe (groin) and Hill (quad) were each limited in practice this week.
Hill being inactive means Seattle will have to go with Shalom Luani and / or Maurice Alexander as backup safeties.
