Green Bay Packers 48, Seattle Seahawks 13
The Green Bay Packers totally dominated the Seattle Seahawks last Saturday Night! The Packers cruised out to a 38-10 lead in the first half and cruised to a very, very easy victory over Mike Holmgren’s football team. Brett Favre was very efficient as he completed 7 of 12 passes for 74 yards and a TD. Aaron Rodgers continued his fine pre-season by completing 10 of 16 passes for 97 yards with 2 TDs. Undrafted rookie Paul Thompson finished up the game and he didn’t look good as he completed 5 of 10 passes for 49 yards with 2 interceptions. Rookie running back continued to look pretty good on Saturday with 13 carries for 54 yards (4.2 ypc) with 1 TD run. Corey White finished up the game with 13 carries for only 25 yards (1.9 ypc). Rookie James Jones was outstanding again as he seems to have wrapped up the #3 WR job on the Packers. He caught 4 passes for 58 yards (14.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs. Bubba Franks added 4 catches for 30 yards (7.5 avg). The Packers finished up with 79 yards rushing on 27 carries (2.9 ypc) and they completed 22 of 38 passes for 197 yards.
The Packers defense was really awesome Saturday Night. True, Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbecl weren’t on the field but that doesn’t take away from how good the defense played. The Seahawks wound up rushing for 127 yards on 34 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 12 of 32 passes for 112 yards. The Packers had a lot of big plays in the game on defense as they returned two Seneca Wallace fumbles for TDs. Linebacker Nick Barnett had a 62 yard return and linebacker Tracy White had a 34 yard return. Cornerback Jarrett Bush also had an outstanding game with 2 interceptions that he returned for 41 yards.
