Suffern's Ryan Grant Leads Packers to Dominate Win

-Packers 42, Seahawks 20
Heroes: Ryan Grant & Green Bay offensive line
Goats: Seattle defensive line
Turning Point: Brett Favre convincing coach Mike McCarthy to challenge spot on a 4th and inches when trailing 14-7. Packers won challenge and tied game on the drive, and the Packers' offense never looked back
Next: @ Dallas/vs. NY Giants

After two big, early fumbles that set up two Seattle touchdowns, Ryan Grant was simply unstoppable. Grant ran for 201 yards on 27 carries in leading the Packers to a 42-20 win in what were blizzard like conditions in Green Bay. The Seahawks' defensive line was simply outclassed by the offensive line of the Packers. Even backup running back, Brandon Jackson had an impact on the game. It was a stunningly bad performance from a line that held Clinton Portis to just 52 yards rushing last week.

Brett Favre managed the game brillantly. Favre did not go crazy throwing bombs after the Pack fell behind 14-0, which he tends to do sometimes. He made an incredible play late in the 1st half when he scrambled away from a sack and threw underhand to Donald Lee for a 1st and Goal. That would set up the TD before the half which would make it 28-17. You'll see that play on highlight reels for years to come.

As for Seattle, Matt Hasselbeck played a decent game, but was plaqued by dropped passes and an inept performance from Shaun Alexander. It is a amazing how far Alexander has fallen from his MVP year two years ago. He will need to bounce back to form for the Seahawks to be a legit contender in the NFC for the next couple of years. The Pack will head to Dallas or host the Giants next week. They clearly sent a message to the NFC with their dominate performance today.

By the way, how funny did Seahawks' coach Mike Holmgren look in the snow? FOX kept cutting to him during the game, and each time they did the snow was higher and higher off his hat and headset. You can wipe it off, Mike!
