Jordan Love and Jayden Reed powered the Packers
in a game that featured seven lead changes. Love threw for 260
yards, two TDs and one pick on 17-of-34 passing. Reed had 171
yards from scrimmage with two scores. Josh Jacobs added 84 yards
on 16 carries in his first game for Green Bay.
Trailing by five, the Packers took possession with 22 seconds
left. Love got Green Bay to midfield with a 33-yard pass to
Reed, but the QB had to be helped off the field on the following
play with an apparent leg injury. Backup Malik Willis came on in
relief but threw an incompletion and took a sack to end the
game.
The Packers led 6-0 after the first quarter but left points on
the table. The Eagles turned it over deep in their own end on
their first two drives but limited Green Bay to two field goals
by Brayden Narveson. The Packers also had an opening-drive TD
catch by Reed nullified by a penalty.
The lead changed hands four times in the second quarter as
Barkley and Reed both scored TDs rushing and receiving, the
first time in NFL history two players did that in the same
quarter.
After Hurts' 18-yard pass to Barkley put the Eagles up 7-6,
Reed's 33-yard end-around scamper made it 12-7 for Green Bay.
Barkley's 11-yard run gave Philadelphia a brief 14-12 edge with
5:34 left in the half. Just 23 seconds later, Love found a
wide-open Reed for a career-long 70-yard touchdown pass and a
19-14 lead.
Jake Elliott's 38-yard field goal on the final play of the half
trimmed the Eagles' deficit to 19-17.
Hurts and Brown hooked up for a 67-yard TD on the second snap of
the second half as Philadelphia retook the lead at 24-19.
Love kept the seesaw going with a 2-yard TD toss to Christian
Watson for a 26-24 advantage.
Barkley's 2-yard TD run put Philadelphia back in front 31-26
with 4:26 left in the third quarter.
A 26-yard field goal by Narveson pulled Green Bay to within
31-29 midway through the fourth quarter.
Elliott's 21-yard field goal put Philadelphia ahead 34-29 and
capped a clock-draining, 16-play drive with 27 seconds to go.
