Aaron Rodgers again ignored pain. He heaped it on the sinking Seahawks instead. Green Bay's ailing quarterback ran for a touchdown early, then threw two scoring passes in the second half to perhaps save the Packers' season in a 27-17 victory over Seattle on Sunday that ended a three-game slide.

Seattle paid for having to start No. 3 quarterback Charlie Frye. It looked inept on offense while dropping to 1-4 _ the equal of the St. Louis Rams at the bottom of the NFC West the Seahawks have ruled the last four seasons. Seattle was last 1-4 in 2002, its most recent losing season.

Rodgers, again starting despite a sprained throwing shoulder, was 21-for-30 with 208 yards as Green Bay (3-3) won for the 10th time in 13 road games.

Frye completed 12 of 23 passes for just 83 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Seahawks, who lost for the second time in three home games. They entered the season an NFC-best 42-14 at home since 2001.

Rodgers found Greg Jennings, the NFL's leader in yards receiving entering Sunday, for a 45-yard touchdown that gave the Packers their first lead, 17-10 in the third quarter. Jennings beat Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Trufant for his fourth touchdown of the season.

While the Seahawks sputtered trying to throw with Frye, the Packers took command with a 15-play, 84-yard march. Rodgers was 3-for-3 converting third-down passes on the drive, which ended with a 1-yard touchdown throw to John Kuhn.

Seattle, with three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck out with a sore knee and backup Seneca Wallace out with a calf injury, had just 85 yards of offense at that point. Many of the usually rabid home fans were leaving a stadium that was no louder than a high-school field.

The exits became clogged when Charles Woodson intercepted Frye in Seahawks territory, setting up Mason Crosby's clinching 51-yard field goal with 8:41 left.

Frye started for the first time since the 2007 opener, when he was with Cleveland. The Browns benched him in the first half of that dreadful 34-7 home loss to Pittsburgh. Two days after that, Frye became the first Week 1 starter traded immediately after the opener since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Continued...
