Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs as the Green Bay Packers ended Seattle's four-game winning streak with a 30-13 victory Sunday night over the Seahawks, who lost quarterback Geno Smith to a knee injury.
Josh Jacobs ran for 94 yards and a touchdown for the Packers (10-4), who have won eight of 10. Jacobs finished with 136 yards from scrimmage and Brandon McManus kicked three field goals.
After Doubs made a big catch in the back of the end zone late in the fourth quarter for his second TD, Packers fans at Lumen Field would chant, “Go Pack Go!”
Smith was hit low by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper in the third quarter and threw his helmet to the ground after going off the field. He was replaced by Sam Howell, who had just one previous snap for the Seahawks (8-6).
Smith completed 15 of 19 passes for 149 yards, while Howell went five of 14 for 24 yards and a pick.
The Packers' two losses over their last 10 have come to NFC-leading Detroit, including a 34-31 loss on Dec. 5, making the division title likely a -out of reach. Green Bay has yet to clinch a playoff spot.
The Seahawks fell into first place with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West, and Smith's injury could affect their chances of winning the division.
Love finished 20 of 27 for 229 yards, while Doubs had three catches for 40 yards.

Smith had an interception in the end zone in the first half and the Seahawks led 20-3 at the break. Green Bay scored all four of their possessions in the first half.

The Seahawks drove to the Green Bay 12, but Smith's pass intended for Noah Fant was intercepted in the end zone by Carrington Valentine, the first career pick for the second-year defensive back.
It was Smith's 13th interception of the season and fourth in the end zone.
Woolen was flagged for pass interference on Doubs on Green Bay's final drive of the half, but the Packers settled for McManus' 21-yard field goal.
