In need of a strong start on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers, the Seattle Seahawks provided everything but with a disastrous start to the game.
Seattle started the game with the football and on Chris Carson’s first carry of the game, Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews punched it out and the Packers recovered the football inside Seattle’s 30-yard line.
A few plays later, Packers running back Aaron Jones found the end zone on an eight-yard touchdown run to put Green Bay ahead less than two minutes into Thursday’s action. On Seattle’s next possession, the drive immediately stalled and they put the ball back in Aaron Rodgers’ hands.
After the disastrous start, Twitter immediately ripped into the Seahawks for their horrific and laughable start to Week 11 action.

The Seahawks have had some nightmarish first halves against the Packers. This is shaping up like another.

Good thing the Seahawks drafted a running back in the first round.

3 and out for the Seahawks on their second drive. That's an improvement!
