Witness the Clash of Titans on Sunday Night Football
Who plays on Sunday Night Football tonight?
In this highly anticipated matchup, both teams are gearing up to get their run games going early. Even if the weather cooperates, the Packers' strong rushing offense, led by running back Josh Jacobs and quarterback Jordan Love's mobility, gives them an edge. On the other hand, the Seahawks may rely more on their passing game. Second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is having a breakout season, with five straight games of over 70 receiving yards.
The Seahawks' passing defense is ranked ninth in EPA per dropback allowed and 13th in success rate on dropbacks. However, their rush defense drops to 16th in EPA allowed and 22nd in rush success rate. Jacobs enters Week 15 after two subpar rushing performances but scored three touchdowns last week. He'll aim to regain his form against the Seahawks' weaker rush defense.
NFL PLAYOFF PICTURE: NFL playoff odds for every team entering Week 15
Green Bay is coming off a Week 14 loss that dashed its hopes of an NFC North title. Currently holding a wild-card spot, they are only two games ahead of the Los Angeles Rams, who are the first team out in the NFC. Meanwhile, the Seahawks won over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14, giving them an advantage in the NFC West race. A win on Sunday night could keep them ahead of the Rams and the San Francisco 49ers.
The Packers' dropback marks in EPA allowed and success rate are ranked around No. 10 in the NFL. This means they'll pose a tough challenge for the Seahawks' running backs, even after Kenneth Walker III's 134-yard performance last week. Seattle quarterback Geno Smith will look to exploit the Packers' 32nd-ranked success rate allowed on opponents' dropbacks.
