The Packers could not get the victory in Philadelphia as the youngest team in the NFL was eliminated from the playoffs. QB Jordan Love finished 20/33 with 212 YDS 0 TD and 3 INT. RB Josh Jacobs had 18 carries for 81 YDS and scored the lone touchdown. Green Bay suffered numerous key injuries and turned the ball over 4 times in what was a disappointing result with questionable officiating. In case you missed it, here is the recap: 

Green Bay received the ball with a disastrous start as all-pro CB Keisean Nixon fumbled the ball recovered by PHI at the GB 28 (he had possession and was touched in the ground how was that ruled a fumble?). This lead to a QB Jalen Hurts 11-yard touchdown with all day in the pocket to WR Jahan Dotson. K Jake Elliott made the extra point PHI 7 GB 0 with 13:21 left in the first quarter.

The Packers nightmare start continued after a holding penalty in the kickoff return, a 2-yard RB Jacobs run and two incompletions (one almost intercepted) by QB Love leading to a three and out punt. PHI moved the chains with a 10-yard completion from QB Hurts to WR AJ Brown. However, the GB defense stepped up as LB Quay Walker stuffed RB Saquon Barkley for a 1-yard gain then S Javon Bullard wrapped up RB Barkley on a screen pass for no gain on third down leading to a touchback punt. Packers picked up their first first down of the game with a QB Love 10-yard completion to TE Tucker Kraft. On third-and-3 at the GB 45, LB Nolan Smith ran around RT Zach Tom leading to a 14-yard sack forcing GB to punt. 

PHI was able to move into GB territory with a 17-yard run by RB Barkley then a 15-yard run by QB Hurts. QB Hurts completed a 10-yard pass to WR DeVonta Smith to the GB 13-yard line. The Packers called an aggressive blitz package three straight plays leading to QB Hurts incompletions. K Elliott made a 31-yard field goal attempt bringing the score to PHI 10 GB 0 with 19 second left in the first quarter. The last play of the first quarter was a 3-yard run by RB Jacobs to the GB 33.

Second Quarter: Eagles 10 Packers 0

First play of the second quarter QB Love threw a long pass intended for WR Dontayvion Wocks that was intercepted by CB Darius Slay at the PHI 22. The Packers defense remained focused and energized stopping the Eagles offense for a three and out leading to a positive kick return by WR Jayden Reed to the GB 46. QB Love completed a 9-yard pass to WR Reed for the first down gain. After back to back RB Jacobs setting up third-and-1, TE Kraft took the snap moving the pile picking up the first down. GB went for it on fourth-and-1 calling the same TE Kraft play leading to the same first down result. GB was forced to kick a field goal as QB Love did not see an open TE Kraft in the end zone, but unfortunately K Brandon McManus missed the 38-yard field goal with 5:05 left in the second quarter. 

The Packers defense continued to be a force pressuring QB Hurts out of the pocket and stopping him short of the first down on a third-and-13 scramble resulting in a PHI punt. OL Elgton Jenkins injury started impacting GB as replacement OL Travis Glover was called for two holding penalties pushing the Pack back to first-and-20 as the clock ticked down to the two minute warning. GB was able to pick up the first down to the PHI 48, however QB Love threw another interception over the middle picked off by LB Zack Baun who returned it to the GB 45. GB defense continued to play elite forcing back to back incompletions by QB Hurts resulting in anotjer PHI punt. QB Love took a knee and the Packers found themselves only down 10-0 at halftime. 

Third Quarter: Eagles 10 Packers 0

Eagles received to start the third quarter as RB Barkley picked up the first down on a 4-yard then 7-yard run. The GB defense did not allow another yard and pushed PHI back with a DE Rashan Gary sack and holding RB Barkley for no gain on third-and-19 forcing the Eagles punt. The Packers were able to gain momentum utilizing RB Jacobs on back to back runs then an 11-yard catch on third-and-2. QB Love on third-and-4 completed a 29-yard pass to WR Wicks to the PHI 30-yard line. WR Romeo Doubs was injured landing on the back of his head in the end zone (concussion). On third-and-13, QB Love threw a heave to the end zone intended for WR Wicks that was called defensive pass interference setting up first-and-goal at the PHI 9. RB Jacobs gained 1-yard on a run then two straight QB Love incompletions lead to a 26-yard successful field goal attempt by K McManus. PHI 10 GB 3 with 5:46 left in the third quarter.

The PHI offense was able to move down the field with a 28-yard pass to WR Smith then a quick throw from QB Hurts to TE Dallas Goedert who took it to the house for a touchdown. K Elliott missed the extra point PHI 16 GB 3 with 3:20 left in the third quarter. Needing to put points on the board QB Love hit RB Jacobs over the middle for a 15-catch and run. QB Love completed a pass to WR Reed for a 13-yard gain but Reed walked off the field with a shoulder injury. The last play of the third quarter was a 32-yard jersey ripping run by RB Jacobs that got stopped at the 1-yard line. 

Fourth Quarter Eagles 16 Packers 3

On first-and-goal at the PHI 1, RB Jacobs powered his way into the end zone for his ninth straight game with a touchdown. K McManus made the extra point PHI 16 GB 10 with 14:56 left in the fourth quarter. The Eagles were able to chip the clock down by utilizing RB Barkley with short gains. A very questionable “unnecessary roughness” call was made against CB Nixon pushing QB Hurts down out of bounds (Questionable? More like bull shit call). This lead to a successful 30-yard field goal attempt by K Elliott PHI 19 GB 10 with 7:33 left in the fourth quarter. 

On third-and-3 at the GB 41, a questionable handoff play was called to RB Emmanuel Wilson as RB Jacobs was limping on the sideline. QB Love threw a pass to WR Malik Heath on fourth down that was caught out of bounds for an incompletion and turnover on downs. PHI milked the clock keeping the ball on the ground and another questionable “unnecessary roughness” penalty was called on DT TJ Slayton to the GB 20. PHI ended up kicking a successful 32-yard field goal PHI 22 GB 10 with 3:12 left in the fourth quarter. 

The Packers were unable to put points on the board as the season sadly came to an end in Philly with final score being PHI 22 GB 10.
