Packers Dominate Early with Two Straight Touchdowns Against Seahawks
SEATTLE — Talk about starting with a bang! The Green Bay Packers came out swinging on Sunday night, putting together two flawless drives to take a commanding 14-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks before the first quarter even ended. And the star of the show? None other than running back Josh Jacobs.
Jacobs was an absolute workhorse, carrying the Packers on his back during those opening drives. Over the course of 18 plays, Jacobs touched the ball 11 times—eight carries and three catches—racking up an impressive 84 yards and a touchdown. On the very first drive of the game, he was involved in nine of the 10 plays, capping it off with a 1-yard touchdown run. This marked the first time all season that the Packers managed to score on their first two possessions of a game. Talk about setting the tone!

Doubs Returns with a Bang
As if Jacobs’ performance wasn’t enough, the Packers got another boost from wide receiver Romeo Doubs, who made his return after missing two games due to a concussion. Doubs wasted no time making his presence felt, scoring the second touchdown of the game on a 13-yard slant from quarterback Jordan Love.
But this wasn’t just any touchdown. Doubs showed off his sheer determination and leg power, dragging not one but two Seahawks defenders—Julian Love and Riq Woolen—into the end zone with him. It was the kind of play that gets fans out of their seats and reminds everyone why Doubs is such a key piece of this Packers offense.

Key Takeaways from the First Quarter
Here’s a quick breakdown of what made the Packers’ opening quarter so dominant:
- Josh Jacobs’ Impact: 11 touches for 84 yards and a touchdown in just two drives. He was the engine of the offense.
- Romeo Doubs’ Return: A 13-yard touchdown that showcased his strength and determination, dragging defenders into the end zone.
- Jordan Love’s Efficiency: The Packers’ quarterback looked sharp, connecting with his receivers and leading two scoring drives right out of the gate.
- Historical Context: This was the first time all season the Packers scored on their first two possessions—a sign that their offense might finally be clicking at the right time.
It’s still early in the game, but if the Packers can maintain this level of execution, they’ll be a tough team to beat. The Seahawks, on the other hand, will need to regroup quickly if they want to avoid falling into an even deeper hole.
Stay tuned for more updates as this game unfolds. If the first quarter is any indication, we’re in for an exciting night of football!
