Last week
Aaron Rodgers had three touchdown passes, but the host Packers fell to the Falcons, 27-24. ... The Seahawks welcomed back receivers Deion Branch and Bobby Engram, but Seattle lost to the host Giants, 44-6.
Keep your eye on ...
Rodgers' protection: The Packers quarterback had to convince coach Mike McCarthy that he was healthy enough to play with a sprained right shoulder, and he backed it up by throwing for 313 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers was brought down twice against the Falcons, but this week he faces one of the NFL's top pass rushers, Patrick Kerney.
Seahawks' runners: Julius Jones leads a Seattle rushing attack that is averaging more than 140 rushing yards per game. The Packers have allowed at least 175 rushing yards in three consecutive weeks and McCarthy is concerned that too many players are taking it upon themselves to stop the run instead of relying on the scheme.
Who covers Engram: Seattle's leading receiver from 2007 played in his first game of the season in Week 5 against the Giants and had eight receptions for 61 yards. The Packers are missing cornerback Al Harris, who is out indefinitely with a spleen injury, and Charles Woodson is playing with a broken toe.
