SÃO PAULO -- The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles flew all the way to Brazil to open their 2024 seasons.

It was a night of firsts: The NFL's first game in the Southern Hemisphere, the first opening-week game on a Friday since 1970 and the first time running back Saquon Barkley played for the Eagles.

After a slow start to the game, the teams went blow for blow in the second quarter, with two Barkley touchdowns and a pair from Green Bay receiver Jayden Reed.
