Is it "A QB Driven League" you bet it is as the Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson battled the Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers with the "Pack" prevailing late as it was a game of Peaks and Valleys. Green Bay now moves to 2-0 having beat the Bears and Hawks as Seattle falls to 0-2.

It was the "Pack: with an excellent game plan against Wilson and that sometimes Rad Option and then the Seahawks Vertical Passing game or lack there of in the 1st half. A-Rog found WR James Jones for the first score a 29 yarder that put the "Pack" up 7-0. Mason Crosby made it 10-0 until Steven Hauschka kicked answered Crosby's 54 yarder with a 54 yarder of his own leaving it at 10-3 after one frame.

Green Bay would than add another Crosby FG right before the half as the Seahawks made a goal line stand making it 13-3 the "pack". The Seahawks made the proper adjustments after the break and came out firing in the 2nd half.

It was a 10 play 80-yard drive for Seattle in the 3rd capped off by a Fred Jackson 5 yard TD pass from Wilson cutting that "Pack" lead to 13-10. The 12's came right back in an offensive groove scoring again as Wilson found WR Doug Baldwin on a 13 yard TD pass making it 17-13 Hawks. The "Pack" completely out of sync in the 3rd adds a Crosby 44 yarder cutting the deficit from four to one at 17-16.

The "Pack" then got it going in the 4th creating turnovers as A-Rog went 10 plays and 80 yards on 12's early in the 4th to take a 24-16 lead as they made the two-point conversion. Crosby would later add another FG and the "Pack" goes onto win 27-17. A-Rog passes for 249 yards on 25 for 33 and two TDs. Wilson was 19 for 30 and 206 yards with two TDs and an INT. He also ran for 78 yards on ten attempts.

The Seahawks get "Beast Mode" Marshawn Lynch just 15 carries for 41 yards with Baldwin adding 92 yards receiving on seven grabs. "Pack" RB James Starks filling in for Eddie Lacy (Ankle Sprain 1st period did not return) ran for 95 yards on twenty carries  as WR Randall Cobb added 116 yards receiving on eight grabs.      

Seattle now moves on as they finally get some home cooking in Week 3 versus the 0-2 Bears. The "Pack" gets the Chiefs on September 28th Monday Night Football.
