Next up is another home game against a Tennessee Titans team that lost to the Cincinnati Bengals earlier on Sunday. Though it wasn’t a perfect performance, the Eagles still sit in a pretty good spot atop the NFC playoff picture with a 10-1 record. Still, not a strong showing from Jonathan Gannon’s unit. In fairness, they were not helped by Brown’s fumble that set up a long Packers return and awful special teams coverage. And in part with a backup quarterback playing. The bad news is the Eagles’ defense allowed the Packers’ best scoring performance of the season. ![]() Hurts was also effective with his arm, boosting his MVP case. The Packers clearly had no answers for them on the ground. Jalen Hurts led the team in rushing with 157 while Miles Sanders pitched in with 143. It was a historic performance with 49 attempts for 363 yards (7.4 average) and three rushing touchdowns. They were able to capitalize on a vulnerable Packers run defense. The good news for the Eagles is that their offense was able to get back on track. But they failed to recover an onside kick attempt and the offense closed it out. He was replaced by Jordan Love, who was able to cut it back down to a seven-point game before the Birds extended their lead with a 54-yard field goal.Īnother long kickoff return allowed by the Eagles’ struggling special teams unit allowed the Packers to kick a field goal to cut the lead to seven points. It was at that point that Aaron Rodgers left the game and did not return. But the Packers were nearly in position to cut it back down to seven before having to settle for a short field goal. Philly was in position to pull away and close out the game by going up 14 points with a touchdown on their first drive of the second half. Jalen Hurts’ first touchdown pass of the night, a back-shoulder dime to Quez Watkins, put the Birds ahead entering halftime. The Eagles then pulled ahead but the Packers matched their score after A.J. But the combination of special teams mistakes and a turnover on downs allowed the Packers to take the lead. This game had the makings of an Eagles blowout victory early on after Philly jumped out to 13 to 0 lead. The Philadelphia Eagles are 10-1 after defeating the Green Bay Packers at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday night. ![]()
