Failing to rise to the occasion under the lights, the Seahawks fell behind early and couldn't muster a comeback without Geno Smith as the Packers dominated.
Unable to capitalize on their latest opportunity to impress in prime time, the Seattle Seahawks fell behind by two scores early and watched their starting quarterback go down with a potentially significant injury as they suffered their first loss in a month in a 30-13 defeat to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.
However, Smith's lone mistake suddenly didn't look so bad once Howell checked into the game and the offense was rendered near non-operational. Playing his first meaningful action since being acquired in a trade back in March, the third-year quarterback played like a deer caught in the headlights, struggling to throw the football with accuracy and taking a ton of punishment from an aggressive Green Bay defense.
Once Howell checked in and the Seahawks were down three scores, Grubb couldn't go back to the run game much, with the lone exception being Charbonnet's 24-yard touchdown run on a buck sweep that briefly gave the team a glimmer of hope drawing within 10 points. But away from that run, they only rushed eight other times in the final two quarters, with three of those coming from undrafted rookie George Holani on the game's last drive as they ran out the clock to mercifully end the game.
