NFL results and highlights: Green Bay Packers end Seattle Seahawks’ winning run to move to brink of playoffs | NFL News - sports news foot

Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs as the Green Bay Packers ended Seattle’s four-game winning streak with a 30-13 victory on Sunday night over the Seahawks, who lost quarterback Geno Smith to a knee injury.

Josh Jacobs ran for 94 yards and a touchdown for the Packers (10-4), who have won eight of 10. Jacobs finished with 136 yards from scrimmage and Brandon McManus kicked three field goals.

After Doubs made an impressive grab in the back of the end zone late in the fourth quarter for his second TD, Packers fans at Lumen Field chanted, “Go Pack Go!”

Smith was hit low by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper in the third quarter and threw his helmet to the ground after he limped off the field. He was replaced by Sam Howell, who had just one previous snap for the Seahawks (8-6).

Smith completed 15 of 19 passes for 149 yards, and Howell went five of 14 for 24 yards and a pick.

The Packers’ two losses over their last 10 have come to NFC North-leading Detroit, including a 34-31 defeat on December 5, meaning the division title is likely out of reach. Green Bay have yet to clinch a playoff spot.

The Seahawks fell into a first-place tie with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West, and Smith’s injury could impact their chances of winning the division.

Love finished 20 of 27 for 229 yards, and Doubs had three catches for 40 yards.

Smith was intercepted in the end zone in the first half and the Seahawks trailed 20-3 at the break. Green Bay scored on all four of their first-half possessions.

An unnecessary roughness penalty on Seattle’s Riq Woolen put the Packers on the Seattle 28 on their initial possession and Jacobs’ one-yard TD run capped the drive.

The Packers went up 14-0 on Love’s 13-yard pass to Doubs, who dragged two defenders with him into the end zone before waving at a television camera.

The Seahawks closed the gap on Jason Myers’ 48-yard field goal, but McManus answered with a 38-yarder for the Packers.

The Seahawks drove to the Green Bay 12, but Smith’s pass intended for Noah Fant was intercepted in the end zone by Carrington Valentine, the first career pick for the second-year defensive back.

It was Smith’s 13th interception this season and fourth in the end zone.

Woolen was flagged for pass interference on Doubs on Green Bay’s final series of the half, but the Packers settled for McManus’ 21-yard field goal.

The Seahawks showed life early in the fourth quarter on Zach Charbonnet’s 24-yard touchdown run that made it 23-13.

Three plays later, Doubs put it away with his pretty 22-yard throw to Doubs, who got his elbow down in the back of the end zone.

What’s next?

The Packers can clinch their place in the post-season matches with victory at home to the New Orleans Saints in the early hours of Christmas Eve (1.15am) – live on Sky Sports NFL.

The Seahawks, meanwhile, will look to get back to winning ways at home against Minnesota Vikings on Sunday having slipped to second in the NFC West table behind the Los Angeles Rams.
