The Green Bay Packers showed the league on Sunday that the team has a serious shot in making the playoffs. The Packers' crucial 38-10 win against the Seattle Seahawks keeps the team's playoff hopes alive with just three games remaining in the season.

Aaron Rodgers was in MVP form on Sunday. He finished the game with 18 completions on 23 attempts for 246 yards including three touchdown passes. Rodgers and the always reliable Jordy Nelson connected for two touchdown passes.

Davante Adams opened the Packers' offense with a 66-yard touchdown on the game's third play from scrimmage, according to ESPN. It happens to be the Packers' longest play of the season as well.

In a statement during the postgame interview, Rodgers said, "We needed some help today, didn't really get it from some teams. 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."

The Packers' defensive unit also played an impressive game forcing Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to commit several errors, including five interceptions. Packers' Damarious Randall picked two of Wilson's interception, while Micah Hyde, Morgan Burnett, and Quinten Rollins each had one. Wilson threw for 240 yards, including the team's sole touchdown.

However, the biggest issue was Rodgers' recurring left hamstring injury, according to Sports Illustrated. Rodgers was pulled out of the game following the touchdown pass to Adams. Rodgers was also spotted limping on several occasions during the game.

The Seahawks is currently in the playoff picture with its 8-4-1 record. On the other hand, the Packers have to make good on its last three games in order to get a shot at a playoff spot.
