Even though Russell Wilson has a career record of 3-2 against the Green Bay Packers, he has largely struggled against them over the years and if the Packers want to win Sunday at Lambeau Field, they will need to continue that trend.

Since Wilson entered the NFL in 2012, the Packers and Seahawks have squared off five times. There have been four regular season matchups and of course, the infamous 2014 NFC Championship game. Three of the games were played in Seattle, the last two were in Green Bay.

In Seattle, Wilson is 3-0 against the Packers, although he needed miracle comebacks to win two of three games. Yet, at Lambeau Field the past two seasons, Wilson is 0-2. He also has thrown just three touchdowns compared to six interceptions.

At home against the Packers, he has five career touchdown passes and four interceptions. But all of those interceptions came in the championship game, in his two regular-season appearances at home against Green Bay, he has four touchdowns and had zero picks.

So the question for the Packers Sunday, is can they corral Wilson once again?

It’s unlikely that Green Bay will force Wilson into five interceptions as they did last December, but even if you stop focusing on the picks, he has always kind of struggled throwing the football against Dom Capers' defense.

Factoring in just his four regular season games against Green Bay, Wilson has completed just 59 percent of his passes, has seven touchdowns and six interceptions, a quarterback rating of 77.9 and an average yards per attempt of just 6.5. He has also been sacked seven times by the Packers, which is the most for any non-division team outside of Carolina.

Overall, the Seahawks offense hasn’t been terrible against Green Bay with Wilson under center, as they have averaged 21 PPG in his five starts. But at Lambeau, that average plummets to 13.5 per game. And if you take away the 36-point affair to start the 2014 season, the average goes down to 17.4.

Of course, Seattle has had the benefit of a very good defense and a generally solid ground game, so it hasn't always needed tons of points to win. And the Seahawks will try to incorporate both of those elements Sunday.

There are even reports that Eddie Lacy, the former Packers running back, could see 20 carries if Thomas Rawls is unable to play. Stopping the run will be key, but so will the pass rush and the revamped secondary. Covering Doug Baldwin, Paul Richardson and Jimmy Graham could prove especially difficult. Yet, even with the terrible play of the secondary last season, Wilson still managed a passer rating of just 43.7. 

On the other side of things, Aaron Rodgers will need to continue to play well against Seattle. In wins the last two seasons, he has thrown for five touchdowns compared to zero interceptions. He has also averaged 247.5 passing yards per game. 

The addition of defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson should also add to an already dynamic Seattle pass rush, which should help hem in Rodgers. However, at the end of the day, if the Packers can contain Rawls/Lacy and limit their own mistakes offensively, the game might just come down to Wilson and whether the Green Bay defense can continue to be a thorn in his side.
