Philadelphia: The Eagles are leading the Packers 10-0 at halftime, but honestly, it feels like they should be ahead by more. They started strong, scoring quickly after the Packers fumbled the opening kickoff.
Even though they picked off Jordan Love twice in the second quarter, they couldn’t capitalize on those chances. One interception by Zack Baun set them up nicely, but Jalen Hurts couldn’t connect on a couple of passes, and a false start on fourth down really hurt their chances to score again.
Hurts has had a rough time, completing just 6 of 13 passes for 39 yards. They’ve been throwing a lot, even though Saquon Barkley is doing well on the ground with 58 yards on nine carries. It’ll be interesting to see if they lean on him more in the second half.
The Packers, on the other hand, are struggling a bit. They lost left guard Elgton Jenkins to a stinger, and his replacement, Travis Glover, got flagged for three penalties before they switched him out for Kadeem Telfort. Love has managed to complete 9 of 15 passes for 70 yards, but the offense just isn’t clicking.
On the defensive side, the Eagles are feeling good, but they did lose linebacker Nakobe Dean to a knee injury. He was carted off, and it looks like he won’t be coming back. So, it’s a mixed bag for the Eagles as they head into the second half.
