Nearly five months after the Packers kicked off the 2014 NFL season on the road against the Seahawks, we're right back where we started. After a thrilling and controversial comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers booked another ticket to Seattle, this time with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

Things didn’t work out for Aaron Rodgers in his first trip to Seattle this season. Can he find better results with a Super Bowl ticket on the line?

The Packers and Seahawks will square off in the NFC Championship next Sunday at CenturyLink Field, where Seattle has lost just once this season. On Saturday, their dominant defense forced Cam Newton into three turnovers during an impressive 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers.
That same defense gave Aaron Rodgers plenty of trouble back in Week 1. The star quarterback threw for just 189 yards in that 36-16 loss, struggling to find a rhythm against the Seahawks' star-studded secondary. His success this time around will hinge in part on the health of his torn calf. The injury clearly bothered Rodgers early on against the Cowboys, but he shrugged it off late to throw a pair of clutch touchdowns to guide Green Bay to a 26-21 win. He'll need that mobility against a Seattle pass rush that tallied three sacks and eight hurries against him in the season opener.
Here’s when and how you can tune it.
