Packers hold off Seahawks 28-23 to reach NFC title game

Last Updated 4 years ago

GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers have reached the NFC championship game by beating the Seattle Seahawks 28-23.

Aaron Rodgers connected with Davante Adams eight times for 160 yards and two touchdowns for the Packers on Sunday night.

They will play at top-seeded San Francisco for a spot in the Super Bowl next weekend.

Green Bay’s spruced-up defense fended off a spirited Seattle rally to seal the victory.

Russell Wilson directed three straight touchdown drives in the second half to bring the Seahawks back from down 21-3.

But Preston Smith’s sack forced a punt just before the two-minute warning, and Seattle didn’t get the ball back.
