Hurts tried the QB sneak on 4th and inches and he was stopped!!! What a turn of events here in Philly! After allowing two TDs in six minutes, they now have a chance to take the lead from the PHI 37.
Rodgers escaped the rush and looked down field for Lazard but Scott came up with the pick after a deflection bounced it up in the air and fell right into the GB saftey’s hands.
Gainwell takes it up the middle for the 4 yard TD and what an opening drive that was from Philly. Hurts extended the possession with a couple of third down runs, and the RB punches it in for the opening score of the game.
According to Bet365.com the Eagles are 6.5 point favorites at home against the Packers, with the Over/Under set at 46.5. I’m taking the team that has their backs against the wall and facing desperation tonight. I’m taking the Packers +6.5 and with the conditions being how they are in Philly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this game go under 46.5
Aaron Rodgers has been a shade of himself this season after winning the last two NFL MVPs. A lot of the blame goes to the offensive line and wide receivers, but there have been plenty of throws that Rodgers simply hasn’t made. The Packers No. 12 has yet to throw for 300 yards this season, but despite Green Bay’s record, their QB’s numbers aren’t terrible. He has thrown for 2,542 yards, 19 TDs and just 7 INTs and a passer rating of 93.2 but the Packers remain at 4-7 on the year.
Jalen Hurts’ meteorite rise this season has propelled him into the MVP conversation. He is connecting on 68.3% of his passes and his TD-INT ratio is one of the best in the league at 15 touchdowns and three interceptions. He has shown how effective he is when he decides to scramble, and he proved that again last week against the Colts when he scored his eighth rushing TD of the year.
It’s going to be a soggy night in the City of Brotherly Love. The tarps came out and blanketed the turf at Lincoln Financial Field in preparations for tonight’s showdown. The run game will come at a premium under the bright lights in Philadelphia. It won’t be too cold tonight, with temperatures dropping just below 60° but there are showers predicted throughout the night.
Devonte Smith and Jalen Hurts look to bounce back at Lincoln Financial Field after home loss to the Commanders two weeks ago. They have been flawless aside from their loss against their NFC East rival, and tonight they are going up against a desperate Green Bay team with everything on the line in Philly.
Green Bay come into tonight with just one win on the road. It came in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when Aaron Rodgers passed for two touchdowns and the defense held the Bucs to just 12 points. The four time NFL MVP knows he will have to be at his best to take down the top team in the league.
It may not have been pretty, but the Eagles won a tough game in Indianapolis that prove exactly what kind of team they are. They are a good team that can win games even when they play bad. They fumbled the ball twice, and struggled to punch the ball in the end zone but Jalen Hurts saved the day once again on the ground with a game winning rushing TD and 86 yards on the ground with 190 yards and a TD through the air.
The Packers are coming into tonight on a few days extra rest after losing to the Tennessee Titans 27-17 last Thursday night. The GB defense has been the only thing that has kept the Pack “in the hunt,” but last week Ryan Tannehill and the Titans lit them up for 400 yards, and the Tennessee QB tossed for 333 yards and two touchdowns, while Derrick Henry threw for another touchdown as the Titans edged the Packers in a chilly Lambeau Field.
