Sunday, Sept. 10
Lambeau Field
3:25 p.m. CDT

Green Bay is 3-0 at home against Seattle with Aaron Rodgers as the
starting quarterback. Rodgers has recorded a 100-plus passer rating in
all three games (103.0, 116.9, 150.8), while totaling six passing touchdowns
and zero interceptions.

What to Watch

Tight Ends: Green Bay suits up new tight ends Martellus Bennett and Lance Kendricks, two pass-catching threats that the Packers didn't have last year. Green Bay started Jared Cook last year, however he spent a good portion of 2016 injured. On the other side of the ball, the Packers have to worry about guarding Seattle tight end Jimmy Graham.

Running Backs: The Seahawks feature former Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy. Everyone on the Seattle side of the ball wants to see how Lacy performs following his injury history. He and Thomas Rawls, who is listed as the starter, figure to split the lion's share of the carries against the Packers.
