The Philadelphia Eagles cruised through to the divisional round of the playoffs as they beat the Green Bay Packers 22-10 in their wild card game on Sunday night.
The Eagles will await their opponent in the divisional round, as both the Washington Commanders-Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams-Minnesota Vikings games will be played.
This was not a game to remember for Green Bay, and it started on the opening kickoff when Keisean Nixon fumbled after a punt by Oren Burks, leading to an Eagles recovery at the 28-yard line.

Just three plays later, Jalen Hurts, coming through concussion protocol after missing the team’s last two games, had all the time in the world before firing a dart to Jahan Dotson for his first touchdown of the season.
Now, while that was all the offense the Eagles got in the first half, save for a Jake Elliott field goal later in the first quarter, Jordan Love and the Packers just never found a rhythm.
The first two offensive drives ended in punts, and in an attempt to get something positive going, Love launched a ball deep down the right sideline intended for Dontayvion Wicks, but it was instead intercepted by Darius Slay.

It was Love’s first of two interceptions in the first half when Zack Baun jumped a route run by Malik Heath and picked him off late in the second quarter. And to add insult to injury, the Packers’ first true drive into Eagles territory ended in Brandon McManus missing a 38-yard field goal — his first career miss of the postseason.
But as the second half began, a 10-0 run wasn’t a big enough lead for the Eagles to call the game in the bag. The Packers were able to finally get on the board as their opening drive of the half ended with a field goal made this time, though they definitely wanted seven points instead.
Philadelphia responded quickly, however, with a touchdown drive that was capped by an angry catch-and-run by tight end Dallas Goedert for 24 yards as he stiff-armed Carrington Valentine several times while trying to tackle him down the sideline.

Down 16-3, the Packers were in desperation mode even in the third quarter because they couldn’t get anything going offensively. That’s when Josh Jacobs, their workhorse running back, answered the call.
On second-and-10 from Philadelphia’s 32-yard line, Jacobs bulldozed his way through several Eagles players, threw them to the ground and raced to the goal line, where it appeared he had come in to close the gap. Replay review would see him down by the one, but the Packers would give it back to him to bust into the end zone to make it 16-10 with more than enough time to make up for earlier mistakes.
But as the Eagles have done all season, they respond in the face of adversity, kicking a pair of field goals and forcing two turnovers, including Love’s third interception of the game, to ice their win.
Looking at the box score, Hurts was 13-for-21 for 131 yards with two touchdowns, while Saquon Barkley led the game with 119 rushing yards on 25 carries. And while he didn’t get in the end zone, DeVonta Smith was the leading receiver in the game with four catches for 55 yards.

Love was 20-for-33 for 212 yards with his three interceptions, while Jacobs rushed for 81 yards on 18 carries. He lost receivers Jayden Reed, who had four catches for 46 yards, and Romeo Doubs in that game to injury. Packers center Josh Myers was also seen carted off the field as injuries piled up at the wrong time.
