With their season on the line, the Packers overloaded the line. On third-and-11 in overtime, the Seahawks lined up in a four-wide receiver set. Packers defensive coordinator Ed Donatell responded with a "population blitz" in which linebackers Nick Barnett and Hannibal Navies and safeties Darren Sharper and Marques Anderson went after Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck recognized it and audibled to a three-step drop and quick pass, then hurried his throw to receiver Alex Bannister. Cornerback Al Harris sat on the route and shot in front of Bannister for an interception and ran 52 yards for the touchdown that gave the Packers a 33-27 victory.
