Packers score after turnover exchange

SEATTLE, Wash. - Earl Thomas stuffed Eddie Lacy from a half yard out of the end zone on a 3rd-and-Goal play and Mason Crosby kicked from 18 yards as Green Bay takes a 3-0 lead over the Seahawks in the first quarter of the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Fullback John Kuhn was originally awarded a touchdown from one yard that was taken away after a review.

Green Bay took possession after an exchange of interceptions from both quarterbacks.

Richard Sherman intercepted Aaron Rodgers in the end zone to end the Packers' first possession, a 51 yard drive, skirting past receiver Davante Adams and securing the pass along the back line in the first quarter.

But Green Bay's Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix was on the receiving end of a pass the bounced off the hands of Seattle's Jermaine Kearse, returning to inside the 5, though the visitors were pushed back to the 19-yard line when Packers lineman Mike Daniels was called for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Green Bay and Seattle last met to open the season, a 36-16 victory for the Seahawks behind two touchdowns from both Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch.
