Packers open playoffs in Philadelphia

The Green Bay Packers enter a new portion of their season on Sunday when they play the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Wild Card Round.

 

The Packers have sputtered in recent weeks, losing their final two games of the season following a stretch where they won five of their previous six. Sunday's disjointed 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears game saw many of their regular offensive starters on the bench after Jordan Love suffered an elbow injury, prompting Malik Willis to enter the game in relief. The Packers' running game did shine in the finale, with the team gaining 183 yards on the ground.

 

The Eagles sat Saquon Barkley in their finale after he became just the ninth running back to surpass 2000 yards. Despite that and quarterback Jalen Hurts missing his second straight start due to concussion, the Eagles were able to win their ninth game in 10 tries against the New York Giants 20-13.

 

The two teams play at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia at 3:30 p.m.
