Quick Game Summary

Score: Eagles 22, Packers 10
Date: January 12, 2025
Venue: Lincoln Financial Field (69,879 attendance)
Key Stat: Green Bay 4 turnovers, Philadelphia 0
Game MVP: Saquon Barkley – 119 rushing yards (Tom Brady’s LFG Player of the Game)

Four Turnovers in Four Different Ways

The game turned immediately. Keisean Nixon took the opening kickoff and lost it after just three seconds when former Packer Oren Burks knocked the ball loose. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. recovered at the Green Bay 28.

Philadelphia needed just three plays to score. Jalen Hurts, returning from a three-week absence due to concussion, found Jahan Dotson for an 11-yard touchdown. Clock showed 13:21 in the first quarter. Eagles led 7-0 before most fans had settled in.

Green Bay’s turnover problems were just beginning. In the second quarter, Jordan Love tried to hit Dontayvion Wicks deep. Darius Slay Jr. intercepted it – his first career playoff interception after playing in the postseason since 2013. Later that quarter, Zack Baun read Love’s eyes and jumped an underneath route for interception number two.

“Just trusting my cover responsibility and kind of playing free within the system to steal a backside dig,” Baun explained. “It’s been one of my dreams – I have a list of dream interceptions that I’d like to make, and that was one of them.”

The fourth turnover came with 1:51 remaining. Love, desperate and down 22-10, forced a deep ball. Rookie Quinyon Mitchell grabbed his first career interception to seal Philadelphia’s victory.

Complete Scoring Summary

Quarterback Statistics Tell Different Stories

Jalen Hurts: Efficiency Wins Games

Hurts opened 6-for-6 passing. His 131 yards won’t make highlight reels, but zero turnovers will. The 24-yard touchdown to Dallas Goedert showcased perfect timing – hitting his tight end in stride before the safety could close.

Jordan Love: Playoff Pressure Shows

Jordan Love’s playoff debut statistics tell a harsh story. Three interceptions to three different defenders. No touchdowns. A 41.5 passer rating that ranks among the worst playoff performances in recent Packers history. For comparison, Aaron Rodgers never had a playoff game with three interceptions in his entire career.

Running Backs: One Dominated, One Fought Alone

Saquon Barkley Controls the Game

Tom Brady named Barkley his LFG Player of the Game. The numbers show why:

Barkley’s 119 yards pushed his season total (including playoffs) to 2,124 – the fifth-most in NFL history. His smartest play gained zero yards. Leading 19-10 with Green Bay out of timeouts, Barkley broke free but slid at the 1-yard line instead of scoring. Philadelphia kneeled out the clock.

Josh Jacobs Carries Green Bay’s Offense

Jacobs produced 121 of Green Bay’s 302 total yards. His 31-yard burst in the third quarter showed elite vision and power. His 1-yard touchdown made it 16-10 early in the fourth. But one player couldn’t overcome four turnovers.

Receiving Stats Show Impact of Injuries

Eagles Pass Catchers Step Up

Goedert’s touchdown became an instant classic. Catch at the 24. Stiff-arm Carrington Valentine. Another stiff-arm. Then a third before crossing the goal line.

“Nobody is as violent and as physical as Dallas Goedert with the ball in his hands,” Nick Sirianni said. “Our toughness and our physicality were on display on that play. Dallas is a physical player, and that was a big-time play.”

Packers Receiving Corps Decimated

Green Bay lost Romeo Doubs to a concussion early. Jayden Reed left with a shoulder injury in the third quarter. By the fourth quarter, Love was throwing to Malik Heath, who couldn’t secure any of his four targets. Timing and chemistry disappeared when it mattered most.

Defensive Statistics: Opportunistic vs. Overwhelmed

Eagles Defense Creates Chaos

Nolan Smith Jr. earned a game ball from Sirianni. “Nolan has just continued to get better,” the coach said. “I gave him a game ball in there because of just his effort. I love Nolan Smith.”

Quinyon Mitchell’s late interception capped a dominant defensive performance. “It felt good. All night, I was just competing,” Mitchell said. “I had a couple fouls called on me. Had a PI. Just tried to stay the course and compete. It means a lot. Just trying to help the team win.”

Packers Defense Deserved Better

Green Bay’s defense played well enough to win most games. They held Philadelphia to 18.2% on third downs and just 290 total yards. Matt LaFleur acknowledged their effort wasn’t the problem.

“They got good players,” LaFleur said about Philadelphia’s defense. “Even when we were running the quick game, they were triggering and coming downhill and smacking us in the back too many times.”

Special Teams and Critical Decisions

Field Goals Made the Difference

Jake Elliott provided nearly half of Philadelphia’s points with three field goals. Brandon McManus, who played college ball at Temple, returned to Philadelphia and missed a crucial 38-yarder in the second quarter. In a game decided by 12 points, those three points mattered.

The Fourth Down Gamble

Trailing 19-10 with roughly five minutes remaining, Green Bay faced fourth-and-3 from their own 41-yard line. LaFleur went for it. Love’s pass fell incomplete. Philadelphia took over in Green Bay territory and added another field goal.

Complete Team Statistics

Green Bay won most statistical battles except the one that counted. Four turnovers meant four extra possessions for Philadelphia. The Eagles scored 7 points directly off turnovers and controlled field position all game.

What Happens Next

These teams opened the 2024 season in São Paulo, Brazil. Philadelphia won that game 34-29 with both teams combining for over 800 yards. This playoff rematch featured defense, turnovers, and field position instead of offensive fireworks.

Philadelphia hosts the NFC Divisional Round next Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. They await the winner of Monday's Vikings-Rams game in Arizona.

Green Bay finishes 11-7 after losing their final three games. Love and the young core gained valuable playoff experience, even if it came through painful lessons about ball security.
