Seattle opened the game with three three-and-outs. Daniels, Matthews and outside linebacker Nick Perry were in Wilson's face all day as part of a withering rush against the Seahawks' suspect line.
No shootout needed for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to win with his right arm. The Packers chipped away at Seattle's vaunted defense with hard-fought yards from Ty Montgomery in the run game, and short passes through the air in the second half.

It worked to perfection on the strip-sack of Wilson by defensive lineman Mike Daniels on third-and-18 deep in Seattle territory, the momentum-swinging play of the afternoon.
