In a game that had the feel of a post-season game though it only is week two, the Packers got the albatross off their back with a big win against the Seahawks to go to 2-0 and maintain first place in the division. The Seahawks are now 0-2 after the loss last week to the Rams.
The Seahawks hoped for a field goal and another chance at an onside kick that could give them a chance but Jayrone Elliot had other plans. Knocking the ball out to force a fumble recovered by the Packers that would seal the game, Elliot got his chance and he made it count.
The Packers played a much better game on defense holding Marshawn Lynch to 2.7 yards per carry and a total of 41 yards. The offense had contributions from James Jones yet again and a great performance from Richard Rodgers who showed that he can be a red zone threat. James Starks filled in admirably for an injured Eddie Lacy, averaging 4.8 yards per carry and cashing in some yards in the critical final two Packers drives.

GO PACK!
They are all MVPs to me 😍 Especially My future husband, he just doesn’t know it yet, Aaron Rogers.
I would have to go for Richard rodgers, he really stepped up tonight. Glad we have a tight end that has the potential to do it all
My game MVP goes to the Defense. They did a great job containing Wilson,and pretty much shit down Lynch
MVP goes to Elliott – big plays from a relative unknown.
I like the idea of giving it to the o-line. They had a few hairy moments, but over all they played very well against a very challenging D.
Ty Montgomery showed promise tonight too after Adams went down, would like to see more of him for the rest of the season too.
I’m so proud of Our Packers stepping up n Shutting it down despite the injuries. We got it done.
While the special teams, defense, and offense all stepped up big in this game to secure the victory, my vote goes to Jayrone Elliott. His 2 huge plays late in the game were the difference between another nail biting finish and a comfortable statement by the Packers. Go Pack go!
