The Green Bay Packers have ambushed the Seattle Seahawks to start the NFC Championship at CenturyLink Field and Micah Hyde made sure Seattle knew it.
At the tough environment of CenturyLink Field in Seattle, one team in the NFC Championship has already been penalized six times, turned the ball over twice, failed to get a first down through the early stages of the second quarter and given up a 29-yard punt return.
Yeah, the Seattle Seahawks are having a heckuva time … at home.
The Green Bay Packers got great field position on this punt return by Micah Hyde, who ran the ball back 29 yards to the Seattle 33-yard line.
And when the play was over, Hyde had some things to say to Seahawks special teamer Jeremy Lane.
The return set up Mason Crosby’s third field goal of the first half and gave Green Bay a stunning 16-0 lead.
The Packers have outgained Seattle 143-11 and have 10 first downs to none for the Seahawks.
The time of possession differential is a ridiculous 16:19 to 4:04 and Green Bay has run 30 offensive plays to just nine for Seattle.
The Seahawks have won seven straight postseason games at CenturyLink Field, with just one loss there—in the first playoff game ever played there on Jan. 8, 2005, which was a 27-20 win for the St. Louis Rams in an NFC Wild Card Playoff game.
