Seahawks come crashing back to Earth against Green Bay

Lynnwood, WASports

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a disappointing 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, marking the end of their four-game winning streak at Lumen Field. The Packers established a commanding lead, going into halftime at 20-3, with running back Josh Jacobs delivering a standout performance. Quarterback Geno Smith left the game in the third quarter due to a knee injury, leaving backup Sam Howell to lead a struggling offense that completed just five passes for 24 yards. Coach Mike Macdonald took responsibility for the loss, acknowledging the Packers' superior game plan. With an 8-6 record, the Seahawks now sit in second place in their division, trailing the Los Angeles Rams.

To remain in contention for the division title, the team must secure victories against Minnesota and Chicago in the coming weeks.
