–Russell Wilson’s 15 yard touchdown pass to Ed Dickson with 5:08 left to play in the game lifted the Seahawks past the Packers on Thursday Night Football. Green Bay built a 14-3 lead after one quarter, then found themselves behind 17-14 after two Seattle touchdowns. A 24-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers to Aaron Jones put Green Bay up 21-17 at halftime. After Seattle shaved the lead down to one point early in the fourth quarter – Mason Crosby made it 24-20 on a 36 yard field goal with 8:23 left. The Seahawks then went 75 yards in seven plays to take the lead on Dickson’s score. Facing a 4th down and 2 with 4:20 left to play, the Packers elected to punt – and never saw the ball again.
