GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Clay Matthews played most of his Week 1 snaps at inside linebacker. He played all of them there in Sunday night's win over the Seattle Seahawks.

As a result, the Green Bay Packers' Pro Bowl linebacker has yet to record a sack this season.

However, Matthews gave the Packers the kind of performance they needed after inside linebacker Sam Barrington was lost for the season to a foot injury in the opener. Matthews not only played inside in the base and nickel packages, as he has since the second half of last season, but he also played there as the lone inside linebacker in the dime package.

According to ProFootballFocus.com, all but two of Matthews' snaps came at inside linebacker. The other two came in the slot while dropping into coverage. He did not take one snap at his traditional outside linebacker spot (in Week 1 he played 24 of 77 snaps there).

"I don't think we anticipated having our starting inside linebacker go down in Week 1," Matthews said after Sunday's game. "My role on this defense has definitely been adjusted. It's one of those things that it's not about me. It's about the team. You see that with the results that have been put out there. It seems like we're trending in the right direction. It may not be my natural position, but I feel like I can fill that void and make some plays there. That's where they need me now, and it's my job."

Matthews was credited with just three tackles, but was part of a defense that held Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch to just 41 yards on 15 carries. Quarterback Russell Wilson accounted for 78 of the Seahawks' 119 rushing yards.

Here's a breakdown of the defense in Sunday's 27-17 win (the offensive breakdown can be found here):

Total defensive plays: 60

Defensive line

Notes: Raji shoved around Seahawks center Drew Nowak, a Green Bay native, and had two tackles for loss. Daniels led this group with five tackles and a sack. Jones had two QB hits in his return from a one-game suspension. Boyd broke his right ankle in the second quarter and may be lost for the year.

Linebackers

Notes: Peppers' third-quarter sack gave him seven in his last six games (including playoffs). Palmer started in place of Barrington in the base and nickel and had four tackles and a pass breakup. Elliott made the most of his snaps with an interception and a forced fumble.

Defensive backs

Notes: With Burnett back after missing Week 1 because of a calf injury, Hyde returned to his usual nickel spot and Randall played only in the dime. However, the rookie first-round pick had a key breakup on a deep ball intended for Jermaine Kearse in the second quarter. Shields bounced back with a better showing than he had in the opener. Clinton-Dix dropped a potential interception but recorded a team-high nine tackles.
