An interception from Edgerrin Cooper and an incredible touchdown catch from Romeo Doubs helped the Green Bay Packers put the dagger in the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night at Lumen Field.
Cooper produced his first career interception just two plays after Josh Jacobs was stuffed on fourth down with the Packers leading 23-13. Three plays later, Jordan Love found Doubs on a 22-yard touchdown that required a difficult sliding catch in the end zone to put the Packers up 30-13 with just under five minutes to go.
The Packers led 20-3 at halftime and had multiple opportunities to extend the lead in the second half, but a Jacobs fumble set up a quick touchdown from Zach Charbonnet, and the Seahawks had several chances to tighten the score late.
But without Geno Smith, the Seahawks had no answer. Cooper undercut a throw over the middle and returned the interception to the Seahawks 27-yard line, and Love and Doubs did the rest on third down.

Cooper, who returned from a hamstring injury, produced a sack, an interception, a pass breakup and two quarterback hits. Doubs, who returned from a concussion wearing a Guardian Cap, caught three passes for 40 yards and two scores.
The Packers defense produced seven sacks, 10 tackles for loss, six passes defensed and 12 quarterback hits. Love finished 20 of 27 passing for 229 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions, good for a passer rating of 123.8. Jacobs produced 136 total yards and a touchdown.
The Packers have won in Seattle for the first time since 2008. They will host the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field next Monday night.
