Seahawks winning in week two is like orange juice and toothpaste; put together it doesn't mix well. However, these polar opposites became the perfect mix as the Seahawks shut out the Packers on their home turf.
Newly signed free agent, Baker Mayfield did not make a great home debut in the green and yellow. Not just one, not two, but three interceptions for Baker Baker the Pick Maker.
Reggie Francis snags his first INT of the season off this Mayfield under throw.
"It's always good to get the monkey off ya back," Francis told reporters after the game. "I just kept staring him down, saw him throw it a little soft so I took what's mine."
"Reggie is a competitor," HC Eugene Krabbs said in the post game press conference. "His leadership has really brought this team together this season."
Defense forced the turnovers. Offense needed to put the ball in the end zone. They did early and often.
Brandon Clapp continued his dominance into this one throwing for 310 yards and four touchdowns, along with one interception. Gabe Luther, AJ Brown, and Artavious Luther III all were on the receiving end of a Clapp pass worth six.
"L3's (Luther III) TD catch was when I knew we had control of this game," Krabbs said. "He broke off that route and Clapp just did what the boys have been doing in practice all week."
"It was a great throw by BClapp. I saw the safety come down and I had the corner beat from my first step," Luther III said post game. "Always to score on a route like that."
The Seahawks defense pummeled the Packers offense. They allowed 128 total yards forcing three turnover. Much to Krabbs delight.
"Our defense will be the reason we are playing in February," Krabbs said. "Freddie (Walters), Sean (Fernandez), Reggie (Francis) and on top of that you have the rushing bull that is (Khamari) Nance. Some of my favorite guys who I cannot say enough about what they've done for this team."
Seattle travels to Pizza Hut Palace in Manchester, NH to face the New England Patriots in their first season in franchise outside the state of Massachusetts. New owner, Adam Sandler better pray the ghost Ernie Adams guides his team to a 3-0 start over a Seahawks team that is also looking to go 3-0 for the first time since 2026 when Brandon Haye led the Seahawks to the NFC Divisional round.
