Are the Packers Contenders or Pretenders?

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Early in the second half of the Seahawks-Packers tilt on Sunday, Russell Wilson threw a pass into tight coverage, lobbing the ball up for grabs while Jermaine Kearse tried to break away from cornerback LaDarius Gunter in the back of the end zone. “I wasn’t quite sure what was going on,” says Gunter, who felt a sudden thump on his arm—pass deflected. “I see [teammate Quentin Rollins] to my left, and Q grabbing the ball. And all I think is, I hope Q has his feet in.” (He did.)

On Seattle’s next possession, Wilson targeted Doug Baldwin on a crossing route.
