Eagles-Packers preview: NFL wild-card weekend rematches exciting Week 1 game

If the Green Bay Packers-Philadelphia Eagles rematch is as good as the first meeting this season, it'll be a pretty good playoff game.

The Eagles beat the Packers 34-29 in the second game of the season, a Friday night game from Brazil. There were plenty of big plays as both offenses were operating at a high level. That game was the first glimpse at one of the storylines of the NFL season, as Saquon Barkley scored three touchdowns. He'd go on to be an MVP candidate and a 2,000-yard rusher.

When the two teams met back in early September, it was clear that we might see them meet up again in the playoffs.
