Doubs, who missed the previous two games with a concussion, made a diving catch in the back of the end zone on a 22-yard pass from Love with 4:59 remaining to clinch the victory.

Seattle’s Geno Smith was 15-of-19 passing for 149 yards with no touchdowns and one interception before suffering a right knee injury late in the third quarter. Smith’s replacement, Sam Howell, was 5 of 14 for 24 yards with an interception.

The Packers scored on all four of their first-half possessions to take a 20-3 lead.

Jacobs capped Green Bay’s opening drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. Jordan Love threw a 13-yard scoring strike to Doubs late in the first to make it 14-0.

Seattle’s Jason Myers booted a 48-yard field goal early in the second before the Packers closed the half with 39- and 21-yard kicks by Brandon McManus, the latter on the final play before the intermission.

The Seahawks reached Green Bay’s 12-yard line with three minutes left in the half before Smith’s pass into the back left corner of the end zone for tight end Noah Fant was intercepted by Carrington Valentine.

The teams traded field goals in the third quarter, with Myers converting from 45 yards and McManus from 23 to give the Packers a 23-6 lead.
