SEATTLE — Nearly 10 years after an iconic clash that ended with the Seahawks clinching a spot in the Super Bowl, the Green Bay Packers are back in town for a matchup that carries significant playoff implications.

The Seahawks (8-5) and Packers (9-4) meet Sunday night for the first time in the regular season since 2021. The game will be a 5:20 p.m. PT kick-off in Seattle and will be televised exclusively on KING 5.

It will be the first matchup between Geno Smith and Jordan Love as starting quarterbacks of the Seahawks and Packers, respectively, after years of Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers dueling in memorable games. 

Here's how to watch:

Packers offense: overall (6), rush (5), pass (11), scoring (7)

Packers defense: overall (13), rush (9), pass (21), scoring (9)

Seahawks offense: overall (13), rush (27), pass (3), scoring (15)

Seahawks defense: overall (18), rush (21), pass (10), scoring (11)

Turnover differential: Seattle -0.3 (22)

Josh Jacobs, who signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers in the offseason, looks to be matching his 2022 All-Pro form. That year he rushed for 1,653 yards with 12 TDs for the Raiders. This season he's run for 1,053 yards and 11 scores. He's on a roll, with three-touchdown games in two of his past three and he's scored eight times total over four games.

Zach Charbonnet had a career-high 134 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the victory over the Cardinals last week. Charbonnet was pressed into starting duty with Kenneth Walker sidelined by ankle and calf issues. Charbonnet needs 63 yards rushing to surpass his total last year (462) as a rookie. He needs three more rushing scores to become the first Seahawks player with at least 10 since Marshawn Lynch in 2014.

The Packers offense overall appears to have the upper hand with the steady leadership of quarterback Jordan Love, so Seattle's chances may hinge on how Green Bay's pass defense holds up against Smith and the Seahawks passing offense, ranked third in the league. Smith has thrown for 3,474 yards and 14 touchdowns this season, but he's also got 12 interceptions.

Packers tight end Luke Musgrave participated in individual drills this week. CB Jaire Alexander (knee), who has missed the past three games, and WR Romeo Doubs (concussion), who has missed the past two, practiced this week and appear close to returning. LB Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring), who missed the past three games, also returned to practice this week.

Seattle's Kenneth Walker III missed the game against the Cardinals because of an ankle/calf injury. He’s run for a team-best 542 yards and seven TDs this season. He was listed as questionable for the game. Cornerback Tre Brown, who was inactive against the Cardinals because of a hamstring injury, is also questionable.

The Seahawks have won the past three at home, but the Packers have won four of the past five since 2015. Three of those victories came at Lambeau Field, including the latest one on Nov. 14, 2021. Green Bay blanked Seattle 17-0. The Packers have not visited Seattle since 2018.
