3 things to watch: Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers

The Seattle Seahawks need to protect Russell Wilson, get to Aaron Rodgers and stop Davante Adams if they want to beat the Green Bay Packers.

How will Seattle defend Davante Adams?

The Seahawks best hope of stopping Green Bay is by getting to Aaron Rodgers early and often.

Otherwise, he’ll have time to spread the ball around and, in conjunction with a strong running game, they’ll be very difficult to stop.

The player outside of the two Aarons (Jones and Rodgers) most likely to cause problems on Green Bay’s offense is receiver Davante Adams.

Health concerns limited Adams to just 12 game this year, but he still finished with 83 receptions and 997 yards, lining up a bunch out of the slot and on the left side.

Seattle hasn’t shifted Shaquill Griffin off the right side much this year, which likely means Adams will be covered by either Tre Flowers or Ugo Amadi, if Seattle is in nickel package.

If they remain in base, Adams could be marked by K.J. Wright or Cody Barton, which would be less than ideal for the Seahawks.

Adams is an elite pass catcher with speed to burn, and could be a nightmare matchup for the Seahawks depending how they line up across from him.

The action starts at Lambeau Field at 3:40 p.m. PT.
