Overview
- Trade-deadline addition Jaelan Phillips recovered a Jordan Love fumble before halftime and helped stop a late fourth-and-1 in his Eagles debut.
- On-field audio captured an Eagles defender calling out “inside zone this way” before Green Bay’s 4th-and-1 handoff to Josh Jacobs, which was stuffed for a loss and fumbled.
- Josh Jacobs and Jordan Love said the call had been used multiple times, with Love acknowledging the offense stayed with the inside-zone play despite the defense’s alert.
- Nick Sirianni defended passing on 4th-and-6 from the Packers’ 35 rather than attempting a long field goal or punting, citing wind and desired distance; the drive later ended with a missed 64-yard try by Brandon McManus as time expired.
- The loss dropped Green Bay to 5-3-1 and third in the NFC North, with Matt LaFleur praising his defense, lamenting offensive mistakes, and fielding questions about job security ahead of a short week against the Giants.
