Jaelan Phillips' Impactful Eagles Debut Seals 10-7 Win in Green Bay

The deadline acquisition validated Philadelphia’s gamble with disruptive plays that reflected his comfort in Vic Fangio’s scheme.

Overview

  • Phillips recovered a Jordan Love fumble before halftime and stopped Josh Jacobs on fourth-and-1 in the final 90 seconds to protect the lead.
  • He posted six tackles, two quarterback hits, a tackle for loss and a team-high seven pressures in his first appearance after being acquired for a 2026 third-round pick.
  • Philadelphia’s defense limited Green Bay to 261 yards and a season-low seven points while pressuring Love on just over 40% of his dropbacks.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni lauded Phillips as “very disruptive,” and the 26-year-old said he felt “super grateful” in an emotional first outing at Lambeau Field.
  • Familiarity with Fangio’s system sped his integration and could alter the edge rotation, with local reports indicating Josh Uche’s role may shrink.
