After overcoming an early interception from Malik Willis, Green Bay had a strong day forcing three turnovers on defense, a muffed punt, and ending two drives on downs. They won the battle four to one including a stretch of back-to-back drives ending in forced fumbles recovered by Green Bay and then back-to-back turnovers on downs.
Without Jordan Love, who is working his way back from a minor thumb surgery two weeks back, Malik Willis got another opportunity to start and secure his role as the backup quarterback.
Willis responded after the first drive interception leading a 14 play, 96-yard drive that was capped with a one-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs.
The third-string quarterback is still up in the air, but it seems as though Sean Clifford has won the battle as he was the first option to replace Willis. He split time in the backfield with Elgersma who grabbed a 121.4 passer rating with six completions on eight attempts and a touchdown. Clifford went 6-9 for 19 yards.
Defensively, Green Bay played well as a team on top of forcing three fumbles they also sacked Seattle’s rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe five times. Isaiah Simmons stood out with seven total tackles, all solo.
No new injuries for the Packers proves to put them in a good position to be ready for their week one matchup with the Detroit Lions on September 7th.
