The Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks may have entered the 2012 NFL season with differing expectations but they meet in Week 3 with identical 1-1 records. Capping a wild, controversial slate of games, the Packers travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.

Green Bay reeled 13 straight wins to open last season before being upset by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. The cheeseheads didn't quite get off to that good of a start in 2012, losing their first game of the season to the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field. But the Packers bounced back the next week and crushed Jay Cutler with seven sacks, beating the Chicago Bears, 23-10.

Playing with lesser expectations, the Seahawks also lost their first game of the season. Like Green Bay, Seattle bounced back the next week, dominating the Dallas Cowboys, 27-7. Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson finished 15 of 20 with 151 passing yards and a touchdown in that win, while Marshawn Lynch rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries.

Will Seattle's 12th man be able to protect Russell Wilson from Green Bay's ferocious defense? Or will Aaron Rodgers and the Packers benefit from their extra rest and emerge with a winning record?
