Seattle can clinch the NFC West with a win or a tie against the Pack and an Arizona loss or tie. That division title will come, if not on the Lambeau Field tundra, then down the line.
Kickoff at 1:25pm The Packers haven’t lost to the Seahawks in Green Bay since 1999. Should Russell Wilson lead Seattle to victory, it would move him one behind Atlanta’s Matt Ryan (56) for most victories in any quarterback’s first five seasons. Wilson would have another three games left this season, too.
One key matchup to watch: Aaron Rodgers’ receivers trying to avoid outstanding linebacker Bobby Wagner, who has an NFL-best 127 tackles, 68 solo.
KOIN 6 News Staff contributed. Welcome to your game day Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a cup of coffee (or brew some tea, if that’s your thing) and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers as they get set to take on the Seattle Seahawks in snowy Lambeau Field later this afternoon.
Bob McGinn’s game preview is, as always, you best place to start on game day.
From Bob:
In their last two games against Seattle, the Packers have played solid defense in all but one quarter (and overtime). The key to victory is making the Seahawks pay for their porous offensive line, making life miserable for Russell Wilson and forcing punts and/or turnovers. Points will be at a premium. The offense will need some short fields.
In case you hadn’t heard, it’s going to be incredibly snowy during today’s game:
