“We needed some help today, didn’t really get it from some teams,” Rodgers said. “Luckily, we did what we were supposed to do today and played well. But we’ve got to keep winning, and we need a little bit of help down the stretch.”

Rodgers finished 18 of 23 for 246 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

The Packers (7-6) were hindered by several injuries. Tight end Jared Cook left with a chest injury late in the second quarter, and before that, both Randall Cobb (ankle) and Ty Montgomery (shoulder) received medical attention but returned.

To reach the playoffs, Green Bay may need to win their final three games– all against NFC North rivals. That final stretch begins next Sunday at Chicago.

“We’re getting better as a football team, and that’s the thing I’m most excited about,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said post-game. “You’ve got to win games in December. We all know how important these games are, but we improved. We took a big step as a team. We need to build off that because we know it’s always a tough, rough game down there in Chicago. We need to build off this.”

Rodgers and Jordy Nelson connected for two touchdowns– Nos. 56 and 57 together, which tied them with Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman for the most prolific quarterback-receiver duo in team history.

Green Bay’s defense picked off Russell Wilson a whopping five times– two by Randall and one each by Morgan Burnett, Quinten Rollins and Micah Hyde. Wilson’s only other game with as many as four interceptions was the 2014 NFC Championship game, also against the Packers, who blew a 12-point lead with four minutes remaining in that game.

Rodgers, who has been battling a persistent left hamstring injury, hurt his right calf on the third play of Sunday’s game– the TD pass to Adams.

The Seahawks will next host the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday.
