Green Bay @ Seattle preview

Last Meeting ( Sep 10, 2017 ) Seattle 9, Green Bay 17

The Green Bay Packers have been making fans of the home team happy this season, as they are 4-0-1 at Lambeau Field and, well, 0-4 everywhere else. The Packers look to put an end to their road woes on Thursday as they travel to the Pacific Northwest to face the Seattle Seahawks, who begin a stretch of five home games in the next seven weeks.

"I like our chances at home, but we've got to win some road games or we're going to be at home in January -- for good," said Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who tossed two touchdown passes to Davante Adams in Sunday's 31-12 romp over Miami. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player has thrown 10 scoring strikes against zero interceptions in the last five weeks overall and has seven TD passes without getting picked off in his last two Thursday games. Seattle has answered winning four of five by dropping two hotly contested matchups versus the Los Angeles contingents. Russell Wilson tossed three touchdown passes in a 36-31 setback at the Rams on Sunday heading into his return to CenturyLink Field, where he has 13 scoring strikes against one interception in his last six games.

ABOUT THE PACKERS (4-4-1): Affectionately known as the "other" Aaron, running back Aaron Jones is making his presence felt after rushing for 306 yards and three touchdowns in his last three games -- including a career-high 145 yards with two scores on a season-high 15 carries against the Dolphins. "He's a great player. We just need to continue to give him more opportunities," Rodgers said of the 23-year-old Jones, who aims to exploit the Seahawks' rush defense that has been gashed for 5.0 yards per carry this season. A promising ground attack could create more opportunities for Adams, whose 31 touchdown receptions since 2016 are tied for the most in the league.

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (4-5): Seattle appears to be getting healthier as running back Chris Carson (hip), right guard D.J. Fluker (calf) and strong safety Bradley McDougal (knee) are in line to be available for Thursday's game. Carson rejoins a backfield that saw first-round rookie Rashaad Penny rush for a career-best 108 yards and a touchdown against the Rams while fellow running back Mike Davis had his first career receiving score. "It's a good group, it's a good problem. Not a great problem for the running backs, but it's good for us and we'll try to make the most of it," coach Pete Carroll told reporters ahead of facing a Packers defense that has surrendered at least 123 rushing yards in each of the last four weeks.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Seattle WR Tyler Lockett has a touchdown reception in seven of nine games this season.

2. Packers TE Jimmy Graham has just six catches for 90 yards in his last three contests heading into a tilt with the Seahawks, with whom he collected 18 touchdowns in three seasons.

3. Seattle LB Bobby Wagner has recorded back-to-back 13-tackle performances and has 29 tackles in his past three home games.
