The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers in a wild-card playoff game, but their victory was marred by concerns about their tackling and Jalen Hurts' performance under pressure.
The Philadelphia Eagles secured an easy victory against the Green Bay Packers in their wild-card playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field. While the Eagles dominated the turnover battle, contributing significantly to their win, there were some concerning areas that require attention moving forward. The Eagles defense proved to be a formidable force, forcing three interceptions from Packers quarterback Jordan Love.
They were particularly effective in shutting down deep passes, limiting Love's effectiveness through the air. However, the Eagles' tackling was inconsistent, allowing Packers running back Josh Jacobs to rack up significant yards after contact. The loss of linebacker Nakobe Dean to a knee injury in the first half is a major blow to the team's defense, as he was having a strong season. Dean's absence allowed the Packers to target Oren Burks more effectively. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, despite having a good performance when not under pressure, struggled when facing the Packers' defensive line. Hurts completed a significantly lower percentage of his passes when pressured compared to when he had a clean pocket. While this was an issue for the Eagles, they can at least be confident that they will not face the aggressive pass rush of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the next round
