GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers outlasted the SeattleSeahawks for a 27-17 win Sunday night in a rematch of last season's NFC title game.

Jayrone Elliott made a lunging, one-handed interception of a short pass from Russell Wilson with 6:50 left, one of the rare mistakes in the second half for Seattle's dual-threat quarterback. The Packers cashed in with one of Mason Crosby's four field goals on the night for a 10-point lead with 2 minutes remaining.

The Packers blew a 16-0 lead against the Seahawks in the playoffs last year. They held on after giving up 13-3 lead at halftime on Sunday.
