Packers 14, Seahawks 14 (End Q1)

GREEN BAY -- And after all that, it's a tie game.

It took two Ryan Grant fumbles and a two-touchdown deficit to get the favored Packers to round into form and bring the score to 14-all. But now, after a whirlwind first quarter, they've clearly got the momentum. After Brett Favre hit Greg Jennings from 15 yards out and Grant atoned for his mishaps with a late first-quarter touchdown, the Packers are in the driver's seat.

*The 28 points scored in the first quarter tied an NFL postseason record for points scored in the first quarter. Oakland and Houston set the mark in 1969.
*After injuring his knee early in the first, Seahawks No. 1 WR Deion Branch is doubtful to return.
*Today's attendance is 72,168. That's the largest crowd ever to see a game at Lambeau Field.
*The flags around the top of Lambeau Field are at half-mast in honor of Chippewa County Deputy Jason Zunker, who died Jan. 5 after being struck by a vehicle while on duty.
