GREEN BAY, Wis. – With Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC wild-card game, the Green Bay Packers – or what was left of them – will not make back-to-back appearances in the divisional playoffs.
The 22-10 defeat to the powerful Eagles was painful mentally and physically.
The Packers, blessed for most of the season with the NFL’s version of a healthy roster, took one devastating blow after another.
During the second offensive series, left guard Elgton Jenkins suffered a shoulder injury and did not return. His first replacement, rookie Travis Glover, was flagged three times in 28 snaps, including twice for holding.
