The NFC championship game between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks opened with back-to-back interceptions.

Facing a 3rd-and-10 from Seattle's 29, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw deep into the end zone towards Davante Adams and was picked off by Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

• LIVE: Packers strike first, lead 3-0

Minutes later, on its first possession of the game, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson had his pass intended for Jermaine Kearse tipped and then intercepted by safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. Clinton-Dix returned the pass 26 yards to inside the Seattle 10.

Green Bay would reach the one-yard line but had to settle for a field goal to go up 3-0.
