Packers vs. Eagles score, live updates: Philadelphia hosts Green Bay in wild-card NFC playoff matchup

The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers opened their season in the NFL’s first game in Brazil — a 34-29 win for Philadelphia. That night, Saquon Barkley rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns in a strong debut for the Eagles, and Jordan Love threw for 260 yards and a couple of touchdowns in a good showing to open the year. Now, 18 weeks later, they’ll open up the NFC portion of the wild-card round in Philadelphia. Barkley eventually became the ninth running back in NFL history to eclipse the 2,000-yard mark on the ground, and Love helped guide the Packers back to the playoffs, throwing 25 touchdown passes despite missing two games with an injury.

All eyes will be on the Eagles’ quarterback, though, as Jalen Hurts makes his way back from a concussion he suffered in a Week 16 loss to the Commanders. Hurts returned to practice on Wednesday. Philadelphia lost to Washington, but closed the season with wins over the Cowboys and Giants. The 14-3 Eagles closed the season on a tear, winning 12 of their last 13 games after starting 2-2 with losses to the Falcons and Buccaneers in the opening month. The 11-6 Packers were 0-5 against the NFC’s three 14-win teams — Detroit, Minnesota and Philadelphia — and their only other loss came to the Bears in Week 18 on a walk-off field goal.

Live45 updates

  • Welcome to the playoffs DeVonta Smith

    Its catch No. 3 for Smith, but has Philly moving on a 3rd down. Gain of 2

  • Brandon McManus gets Green Bay on the board

    This second attempt from 26 yards is good, and the Packers are down by one possession in a 10-3 game with 5:46 to go in the 3rd quarter. Philadelphia had the No. 1 defense in the league this year and it’s looked the part today.

  • Packers pick up 1st and Goal on pass interference flag

    Dontayvion Wicks drew the foul on Quinyon Mitchell for the 1st down at the 9-yard-line

  • Doubs helped to the locker room

    Romeo Doubs needed the assistance of two members of the Green Bay staff to get back to the dressing room for further evaluation for a concussion. Would be a huge loss if Doubs couldn’t return.

  • Romeo Doubs down in the endzone

    The Packers’ big play receiver slammed hard on the turf after a leaping for a pass that fell incomplete, landing hard on his back and with his helmet hitting the ground as well. Trainers are tending to him with the clock stopped and 6:48 to go in the third quarter.

  • Packers are on the move again

    This has been Green Bay’s best drive of the evening, a couple of first downs, and Packers are inside the Philly 30-yard-line.

  • Angle route? Angle route!

    How long have you been throwing this one on the video game? I think I threw my first one on Madden NFL ’94 on Super NES — Shout out Uncle Kyle, #BestChristmasEver

  • Coverage sack here by the Packers to force 3rd and forever

    This was an outstanding play by the Packers’ secondary, but the Eagles’ offensive line couldn’t have done more on this play — Jalen hurts had more than five seconds in the pocket before the play broke down. The Packers would go on to force a punt on 3rd down.

  • Eagles open the second half with the ball

    The offense was held in check in the second quarter, but they’re opening with the NFL’s leading rusher, who had a very good — albeit quiet — first half.

  • Halftime: Eagles 10, Packers 0

    Green Bay miscues and EXCELLENT defensive play on both sides have been the headlines in the first half. After fumbling away the opening kickoff — and a pair of Jordan Love interceptions — the Packers have only given up 10 points. They also have a missed 38-yard field goal and four penalties for 35 yards. Philadelphia has been held in check — at least in the pass game — thus far, with just 39 yards passing from Jalen Hurts in the first half.

    Saquon Barkley has been effective, but the running game has been quiet. He’s got nine carries for 58 yards. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles had 103 yards on offense. They have 125 yards after the first half.

  • Eagles commit false start on 4th down

    The Eagles had lined up to go for it with 22 second left in the 2nd quarter, but the penalty forces the punt and Green Bay survives another turnover. Other than the opening kickoff turnover, Green Bay’s defense has been excellent.

  • Zach Baun grabs turnover No. 3 for the Eagles

    Zach Baun — that’s former Wisconsin Badger Zach Baun — baits Jordan Love into a pick, and the surprise All-Pro linebacker sets Philly up in Green Bay territory with 36 seconds and three timeouts. On the previous play, Baun JUST MISSED grabbing a diving INT.

  • Jayden Reed with a HIGH energy play for the Packers

    Green Bay needs ANY kind of spark, and this could be it. Reed with a big first down catch and run for the Packers to get them on the move.

  • Darius Slay questionable to return

  • Packers force another punt

    After the Jake Elliott field goal at the end of the first quarter, the Packers’ defense has been solid. Philadelphia has just 13 yards in the second quarter, but its defense has been excellent as well.

    With 3:25 left in the first half, the Packers take over after the Philly punt inside their own 30-yard-line.

  • Nakobe Dean carted off the sideline

    That’s not good news for the Eagles. Dean, in his third year out of Georgia (Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis 🐶 🔴⚫️⚪️) had 128 tackles and three sacks in a career-season in Philly.

  • Brandon McManus MISSES 38-yard field goal

    Green Bay comes up empty on its best drive of the day. It’s the first career playoff miss for McManus, and the Eagles still lead 10-0 with just over five minutes left in what has been a DOMINANT first half, although injuries could be piling up for the Eagles. Darius Slay is headed to the locker room with an apparent arm/shoulder injury, and linebacker Nakobe Dean had to be helped off the field by a pair of Eagles’ staffers, unable to make it to the sideline under his own power.

  • Eagles injury update: Darius Slay heads to locker room

    No word yet from Philadelphia what the trouble is, but Slay was favoring his right arm/shoulder as he jogged to the back with some of the Eagles’ training staff. It would be a big loss for Philly if the 12th year vet couldn’t return.

  • Packers pick up HUGE 4th and 1 in Eagles redzone

    Tucker Kraft with ANOTHER motion sneak for the Packers “Tush Push,” and they’re looking touchdown on this drive.

  • Packers finally on the move

    Green Bay is into Philly territory for the first time, and Tucker Kraft BARRELS his way for a first down on a QB (tight end) neak on a 3rd and 1.
