Seahawks QB Russell Wilson endures another Lambeau loss

-

GREEN BAY, Wis.—Another trip back to Wisconsin for Seattle's Russell Wilson turned into a dud.

The Green Bay Packers again found a way to contain the Seahawks' dual-threat quarterbac­k at Lambeau Field.

Packers defensive lineman Mike Daniels' strip sack deep in Seattle territory in the third quarter set up a Green Bay touchdown on the next play, a decisive blow in the Seahawks' 17-9 loss on Sunday.

In December on the same field, Wilson threw five intercepti­ons—three of which deflected off the hands of receivers—in a 38-10 loss.

"I don't worry about the games before. I only play one game at a time," said Wilson, who starred in his senior season in college with the Wisconsin Badgers in 2011.

Whatever the reason, the Seahawks haven't had success on the road against the Packers in recent years. They also lost 27-17 at Lambeau in 2015.

These same teams could very well meet again in the playoffs this season back at Lambeau. If the Packers keep playing defense the way they did against Seattle, they could be virtually unstoppabl­e since offense isn't really a problem in Green Bay.

Wilson finished 14 of 27 for 158 yards. He was sacked three times, but Green Bay put plenty of pressure on Wilson all afternoon.

For the most part, they kept Wilson from making big plays with his legs. He finished with 40 yards on two carries, including a 29-yard scramble up the middle to the Packers 15 late in the second quarter that set up the first of three Seattle field goals on the day.

Otherwise, Wilson didn't really make much noise.
