Seven months after winning their first Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks picked up where they left off with a 36-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFL’s Kickoff Opener at CenturyLink Field.
The matchup was a reprise of the so-called Fail Mary game in 2012, when the Seahawks beat the visiting Packers with a hotly disputed touchdown pass at the end -- a play that was ruled a catch by replacement officials but looked far more like a Packers interception. So controversial was that call, it proved to be the final straw that ended the officiating lockout.
This time, the Seahawks put the game out of reach in the second half and demonstrated that their 12th Man -- their boisterous crowd -- trumped Green Bay’s No. 12, All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who completed 23 of 33 passes for 189 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Although Seahawks running back Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch was in least mode this summer, missing part of training camp because he was unhappy with his contract money, it didn’t take him long to return to form. He rushed for 110 yards and touchdowns of nine and three yards, upstaging second-year Packers running back Eddie Lacy, who is widely considered a rising star but was held to 34 yards in 12 carries.
