Packers vs. Seahawks Updates: Scores and Highlights from NFL Week 15’s Sunday Night Football
The race for NFC playoff spots is heating up as the Green Bay Packers (9-4) face off against the Seattle Seahawks (8-5) in a vital “Sunday Night Football” matchup.
The Seahawks currently lead the NFC West, but the Los Angeles Rams are close behind after securing a win over the 49ers on Thursday night. With tiebreakers in play, Seattle needs every victory to maintain its lead in the division.
This matchup against the Packers is crucial, especially as Green Bay aims to recover from a narrow 34-31 loss to the Lions in Week 14.
The Packers are having a strong season, but their position in the NFC North in 2024 is precarious. Since October, they’ve lost only two games, both to Detroit.
With the Lions and Vikings ahead in the standings, the Packers’ most realistic path to the playoffs hinges on securing a wild-card spot. Winning against the Seahawks, who are also contending for a wild-card berth, could be a significant step toward that goal.

Preview of Sunday Night Football
Both teams aim to establish their running games early in what is predicted to be a rainy Sunday night in Seattle.
If the weather cooperates, the Packers’ robust rushing attack, led by running back Josh Jacobs and enhanced by quarterback Jordan Love’s mobility, is expected to perform better than the passing game.
As the season has progressed, the Seahawks’ passing defense is rated ninth in expected points added (EPA) per dropback allowed (0.010) and 13th in success rate on dropbacks (45.3%). However, Seattle’s rushing defense ranks lower, at 16th in EPA allowed (-0.085) and 22nd in rush success rate (41.0%).
Jacobs approaches Week 15 after two of his less impressive rushing performances this season, but he managed to score three touchdowns in the last game, matching his highest for the season. He will look to rebound against a less formidable rush defense.
On the other hand, the Seahawks may focus more on their passing game.
Second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is enjoying a breakout season and comes into Week 15 with five consecutive games exceeding 70 receiving yards.
Moreover, Green Bay is struggling, allowing a 51.3% success rate on opponents’ dropbacks, which puts them last in the league. Seattle’s quarterback, Geno Smith, will aim to exploit this on Sunday night.
The Packers’ defensive metrics against dropbacks are solid, ranking around tenth in the NFL, specifically ninth in EPA allowed and eleventh in success rate. This indicates they may pose a tougher challenge for Zach Charbonnet, who just had a notable 134-yard game against the Cardinals last week.
