The Philadelphia Eagles continued their undefeated streak out of the bye week, taking down the Green Bay Packers 10-7 in a defensive struggle at Lambeau Field. The game was marked by a lackluster offense from both teams, with the Eagles' 10-point lead in the fourth quarter barely enough to secure the win.
The Packers, who were expected to be the more formidable opponent, were instead stifled on offense, with kicker Brandon McManus lining up for a 64-yard game-tying attempt with two seconds remaining. However, his kick sailed sideways and gave the Eagles no chance to respond, securing their victory.
Coach Nick Sirianni's decision to stick with a run-heavy approach was vindicated, as the Eagles' running backs managed just over three yards per carry on the ground. Jalen Hurts, who was slightly off in terms of accuracy, still managed to find DeVonta Smith for key completions, including a 36-yard touchdown in the fourth that sealed the win.
The Eagles' pass rush was also effective, with newcomer Jaelan Phillips making an impact despite being part of the rotation. Phillips and fellow edge rusher Nolan Smith each had sacks, while Nakobe Dean played a key role in shutting down Packers quarterback Jordan Love in the pocket.
Despite some promising signs from new additions to the secondary, Adoree' Jackson struggled against Romeo Doubs on a deep over late in the fourth. The Eagles also saw limited success on third downs, completing just 44% of their attempts despite having a favorable game script.
The real story, however, was the turnover battle, which the Eagles won convincingly. Hurts's rare loss of grip on the ball at the end of a well-designed QB draw ultimately cost the Packers, who lost fumbles from Love and Josh Jacobs to seal their fate.
With another NFC North team waiting in the wings next week against the Lions, the Eagles will look to build on this win and continue their winning streak.

The Packers were supposed to be the better team but they just couldn't get anything going against that tough Eagles defense 
I love how Nick Sirianni stuck with the run-heavy approach, it paid off in the end. And can we talk about Jaelan Phillips' debut? He's definitely a force to be reckoned with on the edge 
The turnover battle was huge for the Eagles too, they just outplayed the Packers when it mattered most 
10-7 ain't nothing to sneeze at, though. those running backs were like brick walls, just churning away and eating up yards 
nakobe dean was all over jordan love, no wonder they couldn't move 
what's with adoree' struggling on that deep play tho? gotta regroup and come back stronger next week 
. They got outcoached by Sirianni & co. 
. Their offense was super lackluster & couldn't get anything going 
. Meanwhile, the Eagles' D-line was on 
, shutting down Love & co. with some sick sacks 
. Hurts might've had a slightly off game but still managed to make some clutch plays 
. And let's be real, Adoree' Jackson needs to step up his game ASAP 
. Still, 10-7 against the Packers is no joke 
. The Eagles keep their perfect record 
! #EaglesNation #NFL #GoPhils
. However, the win against the Packers is a significant one, especially given the strength of their divisional opponents

Coach Sirianni made some great calls, like sticking with the run-heavy approach, which paid off in the end.
. And Hurts, despite being slightly off, found DeVonta Smith for some key completions... gotta love that 36-yard TD! 
The real story, though, was those turnovers - it's crazy how much of a difference they can make in a game 
... the offense was super lackluster, like 10 points in 4 quarters is not enough to impress me... but at the same time, coach sirianni's strategy of running it up the middle worked, kinda? 
i mean, the defense was on point, especially nakobe dean who shut down love pretty well... but, jalen hurts was just off with his accuracy and adoree' jackson got torched by doubs 
and what's up with the turnovers tho? the eagles were way more careless than the packers... still, another w win, so i guess it's all good 
. And Jaelan Phillips's sack was sick! 
The Packers just couldn't get anything going on offense and it cost them the game. It's also cool to see Nakobe Dean having such an impact in the pocket - he's definitely got some skills 
.
and Phillips coming out of nowhere is crazy 
. I mean they're still undefeated after that bye week, which is impressive. The defense was fire 
I'm so curious about Nick Sirianni's strategy with that run-heavy approach 
. The pass rush is also looking fierce 
, with newcomers like Jaelan Phillips and Nolan Smith bringing some serious heat 
! I mean, they're not playing the most exciting football out there, but you can't deny the fact that Nick Sirianni's coaching decisions are paying off. The run-heavy approach was a smart move, and Jalen Hurts found some magic with those key completions to DeVonta Smith 
But what really caught my attention was that turnover battle... 3 crucial fumbles from the Packers sealed their fate 
anyway, nice job by the eagles defense 
they kept it pretty simple and got the job done 
. I need some excitement on the field, you know? The Eagles' pass rush was actually pretty underwhelming... just two sacks all game? 
Give me a break.
