Earlier we looked at the Philadelphia Eagles' running game and how the Packers matchup against an explosive rushing attack. Today we’ll look at how the Packers' pass defense might handle the Eagles' passing attack.
In their first meeting in week one in Brazil, the Packers dropped the game 34-29 with the passing defense surrendering six pass plays over 16 yards and four of 20 yards or more. They were able to intercept Jalen Hurts twice and the game itself ended up being more indicative of two teams struggling to find their footing on a bad field more than it was about bad pass defense.
