The Green Bay Packers have had trouble getting much going in the first half of their season-opening showdown with the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks.

More from Green Bay Packers

The Packers are only trailing the Seahawks 17-10 late in the first half but both of their scores have come on Seattle miscues.

First, the Seahawks muffed a punt and the Packers took over the Seahawks’ 34-yard line. Then, the Seahawks were called for pass interference and the Packers got a Mason Crosby field goal.

After going down 17-10, the Packers tried to even the score but had a little miscommunication. Rodgers called for a timeout but the ball was snapped anyway. Luckily for Rodgers and the Packers, the officials granted the timeout.
