Five reasons the Eagles lost to the Packers

NO RUSH

Aaron Rodgers was sacked 24 times in the first 10 games, and 41 times last season. I mention this because Monday night’s game might have given you the impression that sacking Rodgers is almost as difficult as scaling Mt. Everest. It isn’t.

The Eagles got some occasional pressure on Rodgers, but not nearly enough. They failed to record a sack for just the second time this season and have just six sacks in their last five games.

In the Eagles’ defense, Rodgers, who completed 30 of 39 passes, didn’t hang onto the ball very long, particularly in the first half.
