The Green Bay Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. A lot has changed heading into next weekend’s NFL playoffs rematch.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – On the heels of Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers are off to Philadelphia to play the NFC East champion Eagles in an NFC wild-card matchup next weekend.The Packers, of course, started their season against the Eagles in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Some of that is a byproduct of the Packers playing in a historically good NFC North division. The Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions are playing for the top seed in the NFC in the final game of the regular season on Sunday night. In order to get where they want to go, the Packers must get that elusive signature win against the Eagles.The Eagles have the looks of a juggernaut. They won 12 of their last 13 games and won the NFC East by a two-game spread over the Washington Commanders.
Their passing game looks clunky. Their defense was torn apart by the Vikings’ Sam Darnold before being picked apart by Caleb Williams on a game-winning drive by the Bears.
