Christine Michael ran for 97 yards on 11 carries and Stephen Williams snatched a ball away from cornerback Loyce Means in the end zone for a 42-yard touchdown catch and the go-ahead score in the Seahawks' 17-10 preseason victory Friday night over the Packers. Michael had a 43-yard touchdown run in the third quarter for the Seahawks (3-0), who stayed unbeaten but didn't look like the team that steamrolled over Denver and San Diego the previous two weeks. This game instead will be remembered for some defense, and a host of mistakes and sloppy play - not exactly what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll or Packers counterpart Mike McCarthy were looking for with the regular season a little more than two weeks away. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, returning to the state where he turned into a college star at Wisconsin, finished 11 of 17 for 126 yards but threw two interception, including a pass tipped by two defenders that landed in the opportunistic hands of Casey Hayward. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers looked fine in his only series, finishing 4 of 7 for 41 yards, a 22-yard connection to tight end Jermichael Finley to the Seattle 24 to help set up Mason Crosby's 38-yard field goal.

A more fitting title might be, "Seahawks keep starters in game until the middle of the 3rd quarter to beat the Packers' 2nd and 3rd teams". This game reminded me how much I cant stand the Seahawks and how much I cant wait for the Packers to get a shot at them in the playoffs.
Can't wait for SF to go up there in week 2. Seahawk fans in this area have been chirpin soo much this preseason. Delusional
