São Paulo, Brazil – In an exciting yet challenging match for the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Jordan Love suffered an injury in the closing moments of their game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which ended in a narrow 34-29 loss. This game also marked a historic moment as it was the first NFL game ever played in South America.
Before getting hurt, Love had an impressive performance, throwing for 260 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t finish strong, managing only a field goal over the last 27 minutes of the game.
The Packers, now facing a possible season without their starting quarterback, may have to rely on Malik Willis, who was traded from the Tennessee Titans during the offseason. With the next three games against teams that missed the playoffs last year—the Colts, Titans, and Vikings—the Packers might have a chance to navigate through this big hurdle if Love’s injury sidelines him for an extended period.
On the other side, the Eagles celebrated their victory with standout performances, particularly from new signing Saquon Barkley, who scored three touchdowns and accumulated 132 total yards. Although Barkley stumbled on his first run with a five-yard loss, he quickly recovered, becoming a key factor in the Eagles’ success.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts also made an impact with 278 passing yards, alongside two touchdowns and two interceptions. Despite a few fumbles and ineffective snaps from new center Cameron Jurgens, the Eagles managed to remain undefeated in Brazil, successfully kicking off their season in South America.
The Packers will look to regroup, while the Eagles will be eager to build on their momentum in the following weeks.
