Nick Sirianni credits unsung tone setter in Eagles' Wild Card win over Packers

Though the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers had to duke it out for a full 60 minutes to decide which team would advance in the 2025 NFL Playoffs, it certainly felt like the former was in the driver's seat pretty much from the jump in the lopsided contest.

Okay, technically, it took one play for momentum to fully fill Philly’s sails, but fill them it did, as on the opening kickoff of the game, reserve linebacker Oren Burks dropped the hammer on Packers return man Keisean Nixon, leading to a forced fumble, incredible field position, and six quick points on the board from the fabled Jalen Hurts-to-Jahan Dotson connection, which, as it turns out, exists.
