SEATTLE – There's a reason Josh Jacobs likes to call Romeo Doubs "Spider-Man."
The Packers' third-year receiver proved once again deserving of the moniker his running back bestowed upon him on a pivotal 22-yard touchdown snag to help put away the Seattle Seahawks 30-13 Sunday night at Lumen Field.
From afar, it looked Doubs' third-and-2 grab near the back of the end zone might be close to out of bounds, but replay showed he not only got both feet down but also a shoulder for good measure.
It was a critical play for a Green Bay offense that got off to a fast start but in the second half punted twice, turned the ball over on downs and lost a fumble before Doubs' score.
"That's Rome," Jacobs said. "The dude is dawg, man. His hands, the way he goes about it. It's just crazy. I called him 'Spider-Man' earlier in the week because I feel like when the ball is anywhere in his vicinity he's snagging it, catching it."
It was one of two touchdowns Doubs scored in his first game back after missing two games due to a concussion he suffered against San Francisco.
The first came on Green Bay's second drive, when the 6-foot-2, 204-pound receiver pushed through two Seattle defenders for a 13-yard touchdown.
It gave the Packers a 14-0 lead after the first quarter and marked the first time Green Bay has scored touchdowns on its first two possessions since Week 13 of last season against Kansas City.
Asked whether he thought he could score on the play after catching the slant from Jordan Love around the 5-yard line, Doubs said he had no doubt he could do it.
"We were close enough to the end zone," Doubs said. "We had a play called that wasn't really designed for whatever coverage it was. But sometimes you've just got to play ball and ultimately, I was able to do that and put points on the board."
Coming off a two-game layoff due to the concussion, Doubs chose to wear a protective Guardian cap to be "better safe than sorry" in his return game. He hasn't decided whether he'll continue to in the future.
Doubs finished with three catches for 40 yards and the two scores. Coincidentally, all four of Doubs' touchdowns this season have come in two games, with the third-year wideout scoring twice in a 34-13 win over Arizona in Week 6.
Asked which was his favorite on Sunday, Doubs said he was just thrilled for a Packers offense that's now scored 30 or more points in four straight games.
"I was just happy we put points on the board," Doubs said. "I wasn't really proud of nothing. I'm just glad we got the team win."
Following Jacobs' lead: After winning the opening coin toss, the Packers elected to receive and pretty much let Jacobs take it from there.
The sixth-year running back touched the ball on nine of 10 plays, including six straight carries for 26 yards after catching Jordan Love's first two passes for 17 yards.
After Love scrambled four yards to the 1, Jacobs bullied his way in the end zone to cap the 63-yard touchdown-producing drive.
"It felt good today but I'm not gonna lie I was tired at the end of it," said Jacobs with a laugh. "Looked up, I'm like, 'Bro, how long have we had the ball?' I'm one of them players where it don't matter if I'm dead tired, I felt like if it's an important play or anything, I'm gonna stay on the field."
Jacobs registered 84 yards from scrimmage in the first quarter to establish a new career high. He's also the first player in the NFL this year to have two first quarters with 80-plus yards from scrimmage (Week 2 vs. Indianapolis).
While Jacobs finished with 100-plus yards from scrimmage in the first half for the third time this year, there were a few hiccups in the second half.
The Packers' run game was largely held in check while Jacobs fumbled for the first time since the Colts game. Green Bay's defense kept Seattle off the board, though, and the Packers' fast start sufficed.
"We wanted to start fast and we wanted to play complementary football," said Jacobs, who finished with 136 yards on 30 touches. "In the second half, I feel like as an offense we kind of stalled out a little bit, but our defense picked it up. Complementary football."
First for Valentine: After coming close to securing his first interception in the second quarter, Carrington Valentine wasn't sure whether he'd get another shot.
Turns out it came on the very next play when Seattle quarterback Geno Smith tried to hit tight end Noah Fant on third-and-9 from the Green Bay 12. Valentine peeled off his underneath receiver and picked off the pass.
"About damn time," said Valentine in a jovial tone when asked about the play. "But no, it means a lot. A testimony to a lot of hard work that I've put in, the guys put in. It's not just about me. That play doesn't happen without a lot of things that come with it."
Watson OK, Walker exits: Receiver Christian Watson said after the game he's OK after being slow to get up following an incomplete deep ball from Love in the fourth quarter.
"I'm good. He just stepped on my shin when I was coming back to the ground. I'm all right," said Watson, who led Green Bay with 56 receiving yards on three catches. "Just a cleat to the shin don't feel too good."
Linebacker Quay Walker left in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. Veteran Eric Wilson wore the communication helmet in Walker's stead, finishing with two QB hits and a tackle.
A different vibe: There were plenty of Packers fans in attendance to watch their team's first victory in Seattle in 16 years.
In fact, "Go Pack Go" chants could be heard throughout Sunday's game, including several times when the Seahawks' offense was on the field.
"I really only really heard our fans, for real, pretty much the whole game," Jacobs said. "Even when they were doing the little stuff on the jumbotron, I felt like our fans were louder. That was dope."
