Seahawks vs. Packers live updates: score, highlights from SNF

The NFC playoff race continues to heat up as the Green Bay Packers (9-4) and Seattle Seahawks (8-5) meet in a crucial Sunday Night Football matchup.

The Seahawks are atop the NFC West entering Week 15, but the Los Angeles Rams are hot on their heels after a “TNF” win over the 49ers. Given the division tiebreaker situation, Seattle needs every win it can get if it wants to reach the top of the NFC West.

That starts with a win over the Packers on “SNF.” Green Bay is looking to bounce back from a 34-31 shootout loss to the Lions in Week 14.

The Pack is in the midst of a great season, but that won’t matter much in the NFC North in 2024. Green Bay has only two losses since the calendar switched to October, and both came at the hands of Detroit.

With two of the better teams in football (the Lions and Vikings) ahead of them in the standings, the Packers’ best hope of making the playoffs is a wild-card spot. A win against the Seahawks, a team potentially fighting for a wild-card playoff spot, will go a long way.

Sunday Night Football preview

Both teams will look to start their running games early and often on what could be a rainy Sunday night in Seattle.

Even if the weather holds, the Packers’ potent rushing offense — led by running back Josh Jacobs and bolstered by the agility of quarterback Jordan Love — will likely have better prospects than their passing offense.

Through 14 weeks, the Seahawks’ pass defense ranked ninth in EPA per dropback allowed (.010) and 13th in dropback success rate (45.3%). In contrast, Seattle’s rush defense falls to 16th in the NFL (-0.085) and 22nd in rush success rate (41.0%) by EPA.

Jacobs enters Week 15 with two performances that are among his worst of the season in terms of yardage. However, he scored three touchdowns last week, setting a season high. He will try to get back into form against a weaker rush defense.

In contrast, the Seahawks could try to rely more heavily on their passing game.

Second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is having a breakout season, entering Week 15 on a streak of five straight games with more than 70 receiving yards.

Additionally, Green Bay ranks 32nd in the NFL with a 51.3% success rate allowed on opposing dropbacks, and Seattle quarterback Geno Smith will look to take advantage of that advantage on Sunday night.
