Eagles Edge Packers 10-7 as Defense Diagnoses Play, Sirianni Defends Late Fourth-Down Gamble

Players confirmed Philadelphia correctly identified a crucial fourth-and-1, intensifying scrutiny of Green Bay's play-calling.

Overview

  • Philadelphia moved to 7-2 with a 10-7 win at Lambeau Field, dropping Green Bay to 5-3-1 after a defense-driven Monday night game.
  • Recent trade addition Jaelan Phillips recovered a Jordan Love fumble before halftime and later helped stop Josh Jacobs on a pivotal fourth-and-1.
  • Game audio caught Eagles linemen calling out an inside-zone run before the snap; Jacobs said defenders “called out our play,” and an illegal-formation penalty would have made it fourth-and-6.
  • Jordan Love confirmed the fourth-and-1 inside zone was head coach Matt LaFleur’s call, while voicing support for LaFleur as questions about offensive predictability persisted.
  • Nick Sirianni stood by going for a deep pass on fourth-and-6 from the Packers’ 35 with 33 seconds left, citing wind and faith in his offense; Green Bay’s subsequent 64-yard field goal attempt fell short.
