The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers opened their season in the NFL’s first game in Brazil — a 34-29 win for Philadelphia. That night, Saquon Barkley rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns in a strong debut for the Eagles, and Jordan Love threw for 260 yards and a couple of touchdowns in a good showing to open the year. Now, 18 weeks later, they’ll open up the NFC portion of the wild-card round in Philadelphia. Barkley eventually became the ninth running back in NFL history to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark on the ground, and Love helped guide the Packers back to the playoffs, throwing 25 touchdown passes despite missing two games with an injury.

All eyes will be on the Eagles’ quarterback, though, as Jalen Hurts makes his way back from a concussion he suffered in a Week 16 loss to the Commanders. Hurts returned to practice on Wednesday. Philadelphia lost to Washington, but closed the season with wins over the Cowboys and Giants. The 14-3 Eagles closed the season on a tear, winning 12 of their last 13 games after starting 2-2 with losses to the Falcons and Buccaneers in the opening month. The 11-6 Packers were 0-5 against the NFC’s three 14-win teams — Detroit, Minnesota and Philadelphia — and their only other loss came to the Bears in Week 18 on a walk-off field goal.

Live55 updates

  • Another Jake Elliott field goal makes it a 12-point Eagles lead

    3:12 left in the game and the Packers are in a tough spot. Both defenses have been tremendous tonight, but the three Green Bay turnovers, along with injuries and penalties, are looming incredibly large for the Packers right now.

  • Packers flagged for unnecessary roughness after stopping Saquon Barkley

    Just an undisciplined play. T.J. Slayton and a couple of other Packers tossing Barkley to the ground after he was stood up drew the 15-yard penalty and first down, and it’s going to to be trouble for the Packers. It moves the ball to the 20-yard-line with just under 5:00 to play in the 4th quarter.

  • Packers TURN IT OVER on downs on their own 41!

    Malik Heath couldn’t get a foot in, and with 4:58 to go, the Eagles take over in plus-territory with a chance to go up by three scores. The birds of prey are certainly circling.

  • Jake Elliott gets Philly back in front by two scores

    7:33 left in regulation and the Eagles are up 19-10. Saquon Barkley came out of the lineup for a few plays late in the drive and was replaced by Kenneth Gainwell. He looked like he got up a little gingerly after a tackle, but the Eagles could also be resting him up for the league’s leading rusher to try to close the deal on the Eagles’ next drive

  • Tush Push makes an appearance

    Would it be an Eagles game if they didn’t get one? A 1st down on a 4th and 1 around midfield for the Eagles.

  • Packers injury update

    Green Bay has just three healthy receivers available for the game at the moment after this.

  • Josh Jacobs opens the 4th quarter with his first playoff TD run

    Green Bay is back within a score. 18 carries, 81 yards and the score for Jacobs, and it’s 16-10 with just four seconds gone in the 4th quarter.

  • JOSH JACOBS!!!!

    This is just his second career playoff game, and he said on Fox Sports, pregame, he came to Green Bay for a chance to play in playoff games just like this one.

  • Jayden Reed exits with apparent arm injury

    This would be a terrible loss for the Packers if Reed can’t return.

    After a big first down catch into Philly territory, Reed was rocked and knocked out of the game, at least for the moment. Green Bay is already without Christian Watson, who tore his ACL at the end of the regular season, and Romeo Doubs, who left this game and is being evaluated for a concussion.

  • Dallas Goedert MUSCLE MAN

    You know who else can stiff arm people on the the way to a BIG second half touchdown in a wild-card game? Dallas Goedert!

    Put that one on the sizzle reel.

    Jake Elliott missed the PAT, but the Eagles go up by two touchdowns and lead 16-3.

  • Welcome to the playoffs DeVonta Smith

    It’s catch No. 3 for Smith, and he has Philly moving on a 3rd down with a gain of 2.

  • Brandon McManus gets Green Bay on the board

    This second attempt from 26 yards is good, and the Packers are down by one possession in a 10-3 game with 5:46 to go in the 3rd quarter. Philadelphia had the No. 1 defense in the league this year and it’s looked the part today.

  • Packers pick up 1st and Goal on pass interference flag

    Dontayvion Wicks drew the foul on Quinyon Mitchell for the 1st down at the 9-yard-line

  • Doubs helped to the locker room

    Romeo Doubs needed the assistance of two members of the Green Bay staff to get back to the dressing room for further evaluation for a concussion. Would be a huge loss if Doubs couldn’t return.

  • Romeo Doubs down in the endzone

    The Packers’ big play receiver slammed hard on the turf after a leaping for a pass that fell incomplete, landing hard on his back and with his helmet hitting the ground as well. Trainers are tending to him with the clock stopped and 6:48 to go in the third quarter.

  • Packers are on the move again

    This has been Green Bay’s best drive of the evening, a couple of first downs, and Packers are inside the Philly 30-yard-line.

  • Angle route? Angle route!

    How long have you been throwing this one on the video game? I think I threw my first one on Madden NFL ’94 on Super NES — Shout out Uncle Kyle, #BestChristmasEver

  • Coverage sack here by the Packers to force 3rd and forever

    This was an outstanding play by the Packers’ secondary, but the Eagles’ offensive line couldn’t have done more on this play — Jalen hurts had more than five seconds in the pocket before the play broke down. The Packers would go on to force a punt on 3rd down.

  • Eagles open the second half with the ball

    The offense was held in check in the second quarter, but they’re opening with the NFL’s leading rusher, who had a very good — albeit quiet — first half.

  • Halftime: Eagles 10, Packers 0

    Green Bay miscues and EXCELLENT defensive play on both sides have been the headlines in the first half. After fumbling away the opening kickoff — and a pair of Jordan Love interceptions — the Packers have only given up 10 points. They also have a missed 38-yard field goal and four penalties for 35 yards. Philadelphia has been held in check — at least in the pass game — thus far, with just 39 yards passing from Jalen Hurts in the first half.

    Saquon Barkley has been effective, but the running game has been quiet. He’s got nine carries for 58 yards. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles had 103 yards on offense. They have 125 yards after the first half.

  • Eagles commit false start on 4th down

    The Eagles had lined up to go for it with 22 second left in the 2nd quarter, but the penalty forces the punt and Green Bay survives another turnover. Other than the opening kickoff turnover, Green Bay’s defense has been excellent.

  • Zach Baun grabs turnover No. 3 for the Eagles

    Zach Baun — that’s former Wisconsin Badger Zach Baun — baits Jordan Love into a pick, and the surprise All-Pro linebacker sets Philly up in Green Bay territory with 36 seconds and three timeouts. On the previous play, Baun JUST MISSED grabbing a diving INT.

  • Jayden Reed with a HIGH energy play for the Packers

    Green Bay needs ANY kind of spark, and this could be it. Reed with a big first down catch and run for the Packers to get them on the move.

  • Darius Slay questionable to return

  • Packers force another punt

    After the Jake Elliott field goal at the end of the first quarter, the Packers’ defense has been solid. Philadelphia has just 13 yards in the second quarter, but its defense has been excellent as well.

    With 3:25 left in the first half, the Packers take over after the Philly punt inside their own 30-yard-line.

  • Nakobe Dean carted off the sideline

    That’s not good news for the Eagles. Dean, in his third year out of Georgia (Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis 🐶 🔴⚫️⚪️) had 128 tackles and three sacks in a career-season in Philly.

  • Brandon McManus MISSES 38-yard field goal

    Green Bay comes up empty on its best drive of the day. It’s the first career playoff miss for McManus, and the Eagles still lead 10-0 with just over five minutes left in what has been a DOMINANT first half, although injuries could be piling up for the Eagles. Darius Slay is headed to the locker room with an apparent arm/shoulder injury, and linebacker Nakobe Dean had to be helped off the field by a pair of Eagles’ staffers, unable to make it to the sideline under his own power.

  • Eagles injury update: Darius Slay heads to locker room

    No word yet from Philadelphia what the trouble is, but Slay was favoring his right arm/shoulder as he jogged to the back with some of the Eagles’ training staff. It would be a big loss for Philly if the 12th year vet couldn’t return.

  • Packers pick up HUGE 4th and 1 in Eagles redzone

    Tucker Kraft with ANOTHER motion sneak for the Packers “Tush Push,” and they’re looking touchdown on this drive.

  • Packers finally on the move

    Green Bay is into Philly territory for the first time, and Tucker Kraft BARRELS his way for a first down on a QB (tight end) neak on a 3rd and 1.

  • Packers survive turnover, force punt

    Philly was flagged on what would have been a Jalen Hurts first down run, and then on a first try at the punt to back themselves up. Another tall stand by the Green Bay defense, but it’ll need the offense to find some kind of rhythm to get into this game.

  • Big Play Slay with the pick of Jordan Love

    Dontayvion Wicks was the intended receiver, but it looked like Slay was the intended receiver on the play. That’s two turnovers for Green Bay in the first 15:08 of the game.

  • End 1st Quarter: Eagles 10, Packers 0

    That first frame was all Eagles. Philadelphia had 103 yards and seven first downs to 16 yards and just one first down for the Packers. That opening turnover and touchdown was a punch in the mouth that had Green Bay staggered, but it’ll have opportunities with most of the game still to play.

  • Jake Elliott gets 3 to put Eagles up 10-0

    A victory of sorts for the Packers defense, but they’re still down two scores now and not really moving the ball. The Eagles are swarming on defense and the Philadelphia offensive line has been excellent. 19 seconds to go in the first quarter — Philly had the ball for 9:28 of the first quarter.

  • Kenneth Gainwell gets a 3rd run for a first down

    The Eagles’ offensive line has three Pro Bowlers this season — Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens — and they’ve be OUTSTANDING in this first quarter in both the run and pass game today.

  • Eagles on the move on the ground

    A couple of first downs — a Barkley run and a Hurts run to move the sticks and the Eagles are in field goal range.

  • Nolan Smith gets the 3rd down sack to end the Packers’ drive

    PRO TIP: Draft guys that played for Kirby Smart at Georgia. The Eagles — who had the NFL’s No. 1 defense this season — have SEVERAL Dawgs, and Smith was the Top Dawg on this one, forcing another Green Bay punt.

  • Packers’ guard Elgton Jenkins out of the game

    The two-time Pro Bowler left with an apparent shoulder injury after taking a helmet to his right shoulder. No word from the Green Bay sideline

  • Packers get a first down

    It’s their first of the game, and for the first time, the Philly crowd isn’t in a frenzy. Jordan Love hit Tucker Kraft on an out route for six yards on a 3rd and 2 to move the chains.

  • Packers force a punt, stem the tide

    After getting the ball across the 50-yard-line, Green Bay’s defense bowed up and got a much-needed stop.

    The Packers will start at the 20 after a touchback on the punt, but they can take a breath after a disaster of a first eight plays of the game — which included a turnover, an Eagles’ touchdown, a penalty and a 3-and-out.

  • A.J. Brown snags first pass for a first down near midfield

    Philly started the drive at their own 35 and they’re on the move. Brown made his first catch of the day — after missing some practice time this week with a knee injury — to get the Eagles on the move.

  • Pack goes 3-and-out

    Incomplete pass by Jordan Love.

    Two-yard run by Josh Jacobs.

    Incomplete pass by Jordan Love.

    It’s VERY EARLY — still more than 12 minutes to go in the first quarter — but the Eagles are already up 7-0 and have gotten a stop and a turnover. The sharks aren’t circling just yet, but the Packers could certainly use a stop on this series.

  • Green Bay finally starts on offense

    This kickoff return wasn’t as bad, but there was a penalty, so the Packers start inside their own 20-yard-line after a holding flag on the Nixon return.

  • If Philadelphia’s offensive line is going to THIS all January, Eagles fans might want to go ahead and make some reservations on Canal Street

  • Jalen Hurts to Jahan Datson for the Touchdown

    This is just too easy, folks. There isn’t an NFL quarterback on any roster who wouldn’t have been able to find an open receiver on this play. It’s Dotson’s first touchdown in an Eagles uniform, and with less than two minutes gone in the first quarter, Eagles lead 7-0.

  • Saquon with 14 yards on the first play

    Mr. 2K on the first play from scrimmage for 16 yards and this start is exactly what the Eagles wanted.

  • Green Bay FUMBLES OPENING kickoff!!

    Eagles recover, and will start BOTH halves with the ball! Oren Burks knocked it out of Ke’Sean Nixon’s hands and the Eagles take over at the Green Bay 28-yard-line and a MASSIVE advantage, if they can convert this into points.

    The good news for Green Bay is that there couldn’t be more time to recover from this turnover.

  • Jalen Hurts back in the saddle for the Eagles

    The Eagles’ signal-caller was knocked out of a Week 16 loss to the Commanders — Philadelphia’s only loss in its last 13 games, and it came on a last-second touchdown on the road — but is back after clearing concussion protocol heading into the wild-card round.

    Hurts has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL over the last several years, and in the 15-and-change games he played this season he threw for 2,903 yards on a 68.7% completion rate with 18 touchdowns and, perhaps more importantly, just five interceptions. He also finished fifth in the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 14.
