Packers vs Eagles Results, Match Player Stats & Records

The first time these franchises ever met in the playoffs, the Eagles defeated Vince Lombardi's Packers to capture the 1960 NFL Championship.

The first lines in perhaps another championship chapter will be written Sunday when the Eagles (14-3) welcome the Packers (11-6) to Lincoln Financial Field for an NFC wild-card game.

It's a rematch of their season-opening game on Sept. 6 in Brazil. Philadelphia recorded a 34-29 win behind three total touchdowns and 109 rushing yards from 2024 NFL rushing king Saquon Barkley.

Jalen Hurts passed for 278 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the victory, while Jordan Love threw for 260 yards, two TDs and one pick for the Packers.

There were positive developments for both quarterbacks this week. Hurts practiced for the first time since he sustained a concussion in the first quarter of a Week 16 loss at Washington. On Friday, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Hurts cleared concussion protocol and would start the game.

Love also made solid progress throughout the week after leaving the Packers' Week 18 loss to Chicago with a right elbow injury. He was a full practice participant on Thursday and Friday and wasn't given an injury designation.

Sirianni said he wasn't worried about rust with Hurts, who took the Eagles to the Super Bowl during the 2022 season but lost wild-card games at Tampa Bay after both the 2021 and 2023 seasons.

"This is why you practice," Sirianni said. "This is why you go through the process of practicing and all the things that you do in practice to get on the same page to do everything there. We feel like we practice at a very high-intensity level. This is why you go out there and do these things."

Love made his playoff debut last season, posting a 48-32 wild-card win at Dallas before falling 24-21 in the divisional round at San Francisco.

In this season's Week 1 game in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Barkley scored on an 18-yard reception and on runs of 11 and 2 yards. A.J. Brown caught five passes for 119 yards with a 67-yard touchdown to lead the Eagles.

"They got a lot of playmakers, so you just gotta be on all your details and try to eliminate as much space as possible," Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday.

"... We know the margins are razor thin in this league and you gotta be at your best when your best is required, certainly against one of the premier football teams in this league."

The offensive production was nearly identical, with the Packers outgaining the Eagles 414-410. Jayden Reed had 171 yards from scrimmage (138 receiving, 33 rushing) and two TDs for Green Bay.

For the season, Philadelphia finished seventh in scoring (27.2 points per game) and eighth in total offense (367.2 yards per game). The Eagles were No. 1 in total defense (278.4) and No. 2 in scoring defense (17.8).

Green Bay was No. 5 in total offense (370.8) and had the No. 6 defense (315.6). The Packers tied for third in the league with a plus-12 turnover margin.

The Packers lost Christian Watson for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee against the Bears but fellow wide receiver Romeo Doubs is back after missing that game with an illness.

Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis injured his right (throwing) thumb against the Bears. He was a full practice participant on Friday for the second straight day and was cleared for the game.

Green Bay safety Zayne Anderson (concussion) was ruled out. Five Packers are listed as questionable, including standout linebacker Quay Walker (ankle). Walker missed the past three games.

Also listed as questionable for Green Bay are offensive tackle Andre Dillard (concussion), safety Evan Williams (quadriceps) and defensive linemen Brenton Cox Jr. (foot) and Tedarrell Slaton (ankle).

For the Eagles, A.J. Brown (knee) returned to the practice field on Friday but fellow wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) did not participate in the session. Neither carry an injury designation into the weekend, though. Guard Trevor Keegan (illness) and defensive tackle Byron Young (hamstring) were ruled out.
