The Green Bay Packers are 0-1 after a sloppy, disjointed performance had them feeling like they let one slip away. Here are four observations from the Packers' 34-29 loss to the Eagles.
Saquon Barkley welcomed himself to Philadelphia with two touchdowns. He was matched byJayden Reed, who had two touchdowns of his own in the first half for the Packers.
They had a 12-man penalty wipe out a touchdown. They were called for penalties on each of their first two red-zone possessions to put them behind the sticks. Jordan Love was a little careless with the football ,and that finally cost him late in the third quarter when Reed Blankenship picked him off deep in Packers territory with his team holding a precarious two-point lead.That turned out to be the difference in the game, as the Packers' defense was given a chance to help them win the game, but could not get off the field.
It was reminiscent of last year’s Divisional Round loss to the 49ers, where the Packers moved up and down the field, but had little to show for it.In tonight’s case, those missed opportunities absolutely bit them.The Packers were the best team in the NFL a season ago in goal-to-go situations.Third Down: X Gon’ Give It To Ya
McKinney finished the night with three solo tackles, one pass defensed, and the aforementioned interception.
