If there’s one thing we know about the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s how much focus is placed on red zone execution. Both sides of the ball pride themselves on being as efficient as possible when inside the 20 and after a sputtering start for the offense and defense this season, they faced a tall order.
Going into Thursday night, the Packers ranked 4th in red zone defense and 1st in red zone passer-rating. The Eagles were limping out of a game that should’ve been sealed long before the fourth quarter and were doing so with a wounded offense. It just didn’t look promising.
