The Green Bay Packers’ playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday was a fitting conclusion to a disappointing 2024 season. The team’s inability to overcome injuries and self-inflicted wounds ultimately led to their downfall.
A dismal stretch against the Eagles, Vikings, and Lions earlier in the year set the tone for the rest of the season. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, the Packers couldn’t reach the level expected from Matt LaFleur’s team.
Injuries played a significant role, with key players like Elgton Jenkins, Devonte Wyatt, Romeo Doubs, and Jayden Reed all missing time. The loss of Jenkins was especially damaging, as backups struggled to contain the Eagles’ talented front.
The Packers had several chances to close the gap in the fourth quarter but failed to capitalize. Jordan Love’s four turnovers, including three interceptions, sealed their fate.
LaFleur’s team had looked promising after a dominant win over the Saints in December, but ultimately lost steam down the stretch. The 0-6 record against rival teams will be a tough pill to swallow for Packers fans.
