The Packers did start well and led the first quarter 6-0. The Eagles scored a whopping 17 points in the second quarter while Green Bay managed 13, putting the game at 19-17 in their favour at half-time.
The Eagles took the lead in the third quarter, scoring 14 points against the Packers' 7 and the lead proved to be decisive as both teams managed just three points each in the last quarter. Philadelphia eventually won the game 34-29.
Green Bay had more concern than losing as their QB Jordan Love also got injured in the closing seconds of the game.
