The Seattle Seahawks took a 17-10 lead over the Green Bay Packers at halftime of the first game of the 2014 NFL regular season.

The Packers caught a couple of breaks in the first half (they scored their touchdown after the Seahawks muffed a punt) and knew they had to be better in the second half.

The Packers got off to a fantastic start in the third quarter, forcing the Seahawks into a quick punt. Rodgers went back to throw, hoping to begin a game-tying drive. He tried to find wide receiver Jordy Nelson but led him just a little too much. The ball went off Nelson’s fingertips and was intercepted by Bryon Maxwell, who returned it to the eight-yard line.

You can see the interception below.
