The Philadelphia Eagles emerged victorious in their Wild Card Round matchup against the Green Bay Packers, defeating them 22-10. The team’s physical play dominated the game, and they will host a Divisional Round matchup next weekend.
Dallas Goedert made an impressive run into the end zone, shoving cornerback Carrington Valentine several times to score a 24-yard touchdown. Rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell also picked off a Jordan Love pass in the end zone, preserving the Eagles’ win and advancing them to the Divisional Round.
Eagles linebacker Zack Baun intercepted a pass from Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love before halftime, ending the Packers’ scoring threat. Darius Slay also picked off a deep pass attempt by Love, forcing a turnover.
The Eagles’ defense held strong, with outside linebacker Nolan Smith Jr. sacking Jordan Love for a 14-yard loss on third down. Defensive back Jahan Dotson caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts, and rookie Jeremiah Trotter recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff.
Running back Saquon Barkley had a standout performance, rushing for 16 yards on the game’s first play from scrimmage. The Eagles tied a franchise record with their 14th win of the regular season and secured the 300th win under Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie’s tenure.
