"The defense kept the odds in the defending champs' favor. The Eagles' revamped pass rush made Jordan Love uncomfortable all night, helping to hold the Packers scoreless through three quarters for just the third time under head coach Matt LaFleur. Philly's offense showed a little life late by the way of a 36-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith, and that was enough to push the Eagles to 7-2 as they ready for another heavyweight bout against the Detroit Lions on Sunday."
"Turning point: Nursing a 3-0 lead in the fourth quarter, Jalen Hurts found Saquon Barkley on a swing pass on 3 rd-and-7, which Barkley turned into a 41-yard gain down the left sideline. On the next play, Hurts found Smith in the end zone for the 36-yard score. Most surprising performance: Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio gave edge rusher Jaelan Phillips a major role in his first game as an Eagle, and Phillips delivered big-time."
The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers 10-7 at Lambeau Field as a defensive struggle. The Eagles' revamped pass rush disrupted Jordan Love and kept Green Bay scoreless through three quarters. A fourth-quarter 41-yard swing pass to Saquon Barkley set up Jalen Hurts' 36-yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith. The win moved the Eagles to 7-2 and increased their chances of the No. 1 seed to 33% from 12% if they had lost. Vic Fangio elevated Jaelan Phillips' role in his Eagles debut, and Phillips produced significant plays. The Eagles now prepare to face the Detroit Lions.
