SEATTLE, Wash. - Randall Cobb caught an 18 yard touchdown from Aaron Rodgers on the final play of the first quarter as the Green Bay Packers lead the Seattle Seahawks 13-0 in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.
Jordy Nelson caught for 15 yards, Eddie Lacy carried for 9, and John Kuhn converted the 3rd-and-1 through the middle. Rookie Richard Rodgers snagged a first down over the middle to the Seahawks 18 to set up the score.
Seattle's Doug Baldwin fumbled a kick return after a collision with Brad Jones, giving Green Bay possession on the Seahawks 23. Eddie Lacy carried for 8 yards and again over the left inside the 10-yard line.
But for the third time out of three chances, the Packers were held from the end zone and Mason Crosby kicked again from 19 yards for the 6-0 lead.
Green Bay's defense took over against the Seahawks on their following possession as quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked by Julius Peppers, celebrating his 35th birthday, and a 3rd-and-10 pass that went high and wide.
Both sides traded interceptions in the first quarter as Richard Sherman picked Rodgers in the end zone to end the Packers first drive, and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix returned the favor on the end of a deflected pass from Russell Wilson.
Green Bay outgained Seattle 137-3 in the first frame.
