The Packers engineered another 75-yard drive, this time in 9 plays, that ended in a 1-yard touchdown run by Aaron Jones. Down 14–3, the Seahawks responded with a 50-yard drive, although Myers missed a 50-yard field goal attempt wide right. The Packers quickly turned around and drove down the field, with Jones scoring another one-yard touchdown run to give the Packers a 21–3 lead with just over a minute left in the first half. After the kick-of, the Seahawks drove to mid-field before the half ended.

Lynch scored his second rushing touchdown of the game, again from one-yard out.
