First Quarter Dominance

Green Bay played several starters early while Seattle rested all regulars, creating a significant mismatch. Ty Okada intercepted Willis on Green Bay’s opening drive with a spectacular one-handed diving catch, returning it 23 yards. The backup quarterback bounced back immediately.

Willis directed a 96-yard touchdown drive spanning 14 plays and 7:23. Rookie Matthew Golden made an excellent adjustment on a 39-yard reception down the right sideline, beating Nehemiah Pritchett cleanly. Willis converted fourth and two with a 6-yard scramble, then ran for 13 yards on third and seven. Romeo Doubs finished the drive with a 1-yard slant for the touchdown.

Brenton Cox Jr. strip-sacked Milroe on Seattle’s next possession, with Kingsley Enagbare recovering at the Seattle 30. Brandon McManus converted a 48-yard field goal to extend the lead to 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Second Quarter Turnovers

Ty’Ron Hopper forced a Milroe fumble on a fourth and one quarterback sneak, which Kalen King recovered at midfield. Taylor Elgersma took over at quarterback and directed a methodical scoring drive. Emanuel Wilson carried four times for 27 yards while Mecole Hardman added 14 yards on a jet sweep. Elgersma connected with Will Sheppard for a 3-yard touchdown on third and goal to make it 17-0.

Jacardia Wright exploded for a 61-yard run to give Seattle momentum, with Johnathan Baldwin pushing him out at the Green Bay 4. The Packers defense stiffened inside the five. King made a strong tackle on a designed quarterback run, and Deslin Alexandre batted down a fourth down pass to preserve the shutout.

McManus added a 52-yard field goal just before halftime after Seattle muffed a punt, which Corey Ballentine recovered. Green Bay led 20-0 at the break with a 162-132 advantage in total yards. The Packers held Seattle to 0-for-6 on third down and forced three turnovers.

Milroe’s NFL Baptism

Seattle’s rookie quarterback played the entire game in his first NFL start. The Alabama product faced constant pressure from Green Bay’s defensive front, completing 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards with one touchdown while taking five sacks and losing three fumbles.

“No matter good, bad or ugly, keep going,” Milroe said. “Keep fighting. Keep being starving. Have an optimistic mindset as you approach the field, despite anything.”

Head coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged the difficult circumstances facing his rookie.

“He’s playing his tail off,” Macdonald said. “There’s things we’re going to learn from. Taking care of the football is probably the No. 1 thing. He knows that. We learn from it and go from there. I think it was definitely worth it to get him out there. Having this experience, he’s definitely going to be able to build off this in the future.”

Milroe connected with Cody White on an 18-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 20-7 with 11:59 remaining. White finished with three catches for 69 yards and a touchdown, providing the only sustained offense for Seattle.

The veteran receiver also gained 46 yards on two punt returns, including a 35-yard return where he hurdled a defender. His 11-yard return late in the game gave Seattle field position for their final drive before Milroe fumbled a shotgun snap, which Arron Mosby recovered to seal the victory.

Defensive Pressure

Green Bay’s defense controlled the trenches, recording five sacks and four fumble recoveries. Quay Walker dropped Milroe for an 8-yard loss on the opening defensive series when coordinator Jeff Hafley sent both inside linebackers on a blitz.

Ty’Ron Hopper continued his impressive preseason with a sack, forced fumble, and three solo tackles. The 2024 third-round pick showed significant improvement from his rookie season.

“I would say he’s one of our most improved players from a year ago,” head coach Matt LaFleur said. “I think he’s done an outstanding job. He’s done a much better job communicating. He’s the voice of the defense when he’s in there.”

Isaiah Simmons led all defenders with seven tackles in his best preseason performance. The veteran free agent demonstrated his coverage skills against Seattle’s reserves after two quiet games to open the preseason. Deslin Alexandre recorded a sack and pass breakup in his extended action.

Special Teams Excellence

Brandon McManus opened his Packers tenure perfectly, connecting on field goals of 48 and 52 yards while making both extra points. The veteran kicker provided stability at a position that had been inconsistent.

Daniel Whelan averaged 57.5 yards on six punts, including a booming 67-yarder that helped pin Seattle deep in its own territory.

Michael Dickson maintained his All-Pro form for Seattle, averaging 47.3 yards on six punts with four downed inside the 20. The Australian punter remained a bright spot for the Seahawks special teams unit.

Anthony Tyus III averaged 29 yards on two kickoff returns for Seattle, providing solid field position when the offense needed it most.

Injury Concerns

The game’s most frightening moment came in the second quarter when Jake Bobo collided with teammate Tyler Hall while attempting to field a punt. Bobo ran forward to catch a short kick and his head struck Hall’s leg. Both players remained down for several minutes while teammates took a knee.

Bobo walked off under his own power but was diagnosed with a concussion. Hall suffered a knee injury but initial testing suggested no structural damage. Macdonald said Hall would undergo imaging but felt optimistic about the cornerback’s status.

“Considering what it looked like, I think we’re fortunate that’s what we’re dealing with,” Macdonald said of Bobo’s injury. “That was scary.”

Guard Christian Haynes did not play due to a pectoral injury suffered during joint practices. Macdonald indicated the injury was not as serious as initially feared, though the team continued evaluating his timeline for return.

Final Roster Push

Several players delivered strong performances in their last chance to impress coaches before the August 26 roster deadline. Kamal Hadden allowed zero completions on five targets in coverage after struggling earlier in the preseason, earning praise from coaches for his sticky coverage technique. The former Tennessee cornerback broke up two passes and demonstrated the physicality Green Bay needed on the boundary.

Kalen King solidified his roster position with another shutdown performance. The cornerback allowed just one receiving yard on 53 preseason coverage snaps according to Pro Football Focus, showcasing the ball skills and tackling ability that made him a draft target. His fumble recovery and fourth down stop against Milroe highlighted his impact in run support.

For Seattle, Ty Okada’s spectacular one-handed interception capped an impressive preseason. The practice squad safety posted four tackles and made several strong plays in run support, demonstrating the depth Seattle had developed at the position. Jared Ivey led all defenders with nine tackles despite briefly leaving after an apparent injury scare. The undrafted rookie edge rusher generated multiple quarterback pressures throughout his extended action.

Series History and Context

This preseason result reflected Green Bay’s recent regular season dominance in the series. The Packers improved to 14-8 all-time against the Seahawks in regular season play and 4-3 in preseason meetings. Green Bay is 13-0 against Seattle when scoring 25 or more points, though this 20-7 preseason victory fell just short of that threshold.

The teams last met in a meaningful game on December 15, 2024, when Green Bay won 30-13 at Lumen Field. The Packers have won five of the last six regular season matchups between the teams.

Both teams finished the preseason 2-1 before shifting focus to final roster construction. Green Bay and Seattle faced the league-wide deadline of 3 p.m. CT on August 26 to reduce rosters to 53 players. Teams could begin building their 16-player practice squads on August 27 after the waiver period expired.

Green Bay hosted Detroit on September 7 in their regular season opener, with Jordan Love returning from thumb surgery to reclaim the starting quarterback position. Seattle hosted San Francisco the same day, with Sam Darnold making his debut as the team’s starting quarterback in what promised to be a challenging NFC West opener.

The preseason finale provided critical evaluation opportunities for players fighting for roster spots while allowing both coaching staffs to keep key starters healthy. For rookies like Milroe, the extended playing time against superior competition offered valuable experience despite the difficult circumstances. The performances from bubble players like Hadden, King, Okada, and Ivey directly influenced the roster decisions both teams faced three days later.
