The Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers have one of the oldest rivalries in the NFL. These two teams first played each other in 1933, and the series is now close to 50 games long. Green Bay still leads the all time series, but Philadelphia has won the last three meetings in a row. In this article, we will look at the player stats from the two most recent games between these teams. We will also look at what fans can expect when the teams meet again later this season.
A Quick Look at the Rivalry
Before we go into the stats, let’s set the stage. The Packers and Eagles have played 49 times, counting playoff games. Green Bay has won 28 of those games, and Philadelphia has won 21. That gives the Packers a clear edge over the full history of the series. But recent games tell a different story. The Eagles have been the better team in the last few meetings, and Philadelphia fans have a lot to be happy about.
The two teams have met twice in the past two seasons. The first game was a wild season opener in Brazil in September 2024. The second was a playoff game in January 2025. Both games were close and full of big plays. Let’s break down what happened in each one.
Game 1: Eagles Beat Packers 34-29 in Brazil
On September 6, 2024, the Eagles and Packers played the first NFL game ever held in South America. The game took place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and it did not disappoint. Philadelphia won a high scoring battle, 34-29.
Quarterback Stats
Jalen Hurts had a strong night for the Eagles. He completed 20 of 34 passes for 278 yards. He threw two touchdown passes, but he also threw two interceptions. One of his best throws was a 67 yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown to open the second half.
Jordan Love had a good game too, even though his team lost. He completed 17 of 34 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw one interception. Late in the game, Love got hurt while trying to avoid a sack. He had to leave the field with help from the training staff.
Running Back Stats
Saquon Barkley made his Eagles debut a night to remember. He rushed for 109 yards and scored three total touchdowns. One touchdown came on an 18 yard catch, and the other two came on short runs. Barkley became the first Eagles player to score three touchdowns in his team debut since Terrell Owens did it back in 2004. That is a great way to start a new chapter with a new team.
Wide Receiver Stats
A.J. Brown was the top receiver for Philadelphia. He caught five passes for 119 yards, including that long 67 yard touchdown. On the Green Bay side, Jayden Reed had an amazing game. He finished with four catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns. One score came on a 33 yard jet sweep run, and the other came on a 70 yard touchdown catch. That catch was the longest touchdown pass of Jordan Love’s career at that point. Reed also had a 38 yard touchdown wiped out because of a penalty, so his day could have been even bigger.
Why the Eagles Won
The game came down to turnovers and red zone trips. Green Bay won the turnover battle three to one, but the Packers only got field goals after each takeaway. The Eagles scored a touchdown on their one turnover. That difference in points was enough to give Philadelphia the win in a game that could have gone either way.
Game 2: Eagles Win Playoff Rematch 22-10
The two teams met again just four months later, this time with much higher stakes. On January 12, 2025, the Packers traveled to Philadelphia for an NFC Wild Card playoff game. The Eagles controlled the game from the start and won 22-10. This win helped push Philadelphia toward a Super Bowl title that season.
Quarterback Stats
Jalen Hurts was efficient rather than flashy in this game. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns. He did not throw any interceptions, which was important in a game where ball control mattered a lot.
Jordan Love had a rough night. He completed 20 of 33 passes for 212 yards, but he threw three interceptions. Those turnovers hurt Green Bay’s chances and gave the Eagles extra chances to score or control the clock.
Running Back Stats
Saquon Barkley kept up his strong play against the Packers. He carried the ball 25 times for 119 yards. He ran with power all game and helped the Eagles control the time of possession, which finished at 35 minutes and 34 seconds for Philadelphia compared to just 24 minutes and 26 seconds for Green Bay.
Josh Jacobs was the top rusher for the Packers. He carried the ball 18 times for 81 yards and scored one touchdown.
Wide Receiver and Tight End Stats
DeVonta Smith led the Eagles in receiving with four catches for 55 yards. Tight end Dallas Goedert also had a solid game, adding four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown. For Green Bay, Jayden Reed had four catches for 46 yards, and Tucker Kraft added five catches for 26 yards.
Defense and Special Teams
The Eagles defense was the real story of this game. Nolan Smith Jr. recorded two sacks, and safety Reed Blankenship led all players with 11 tackles, seven of them solo. On the other side, Rashan Gary had one sack for the Packers. The Eagles defense forced four turnovers total, while allowing zero. That kind of turnover margin is very hard for any team to overcome in the playoffs.
Why the Eagles Won
Philadelphia’s game plan was simple but effective. They ran the ball well with Barkley, they protected the football, and their defense created turnovers. The Eagles also had more total yards, 290 to Green Bay’s 302, wait actually the Packers had slightly more total yards, but the turnovers made the real difference. Green Bay’s four giveaways killed drives and gave Philadelphia short fields. In the playoffs, ball security often matters more than total yardage, and this game proved that point clearly.
Head to Head Player Stats Summary
Here is a simple comparison of the two most recent games:
| Stat | Brazil Game (Sept 2024) | Playoff Game (Jan 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Final Score | Eagles 34, Packers 29 | Eagles 22, Packers 10 |
| Hurts Passing | 278 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT | 131 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT |
| Love Passing | 260 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT | 212 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT |
| Barkley Rushing | 109 yards, 2 rushing TD | 119 yards, 0 TD |
| Top Packers Receiver | Jayden Reed, 138 yards, 2 TD | Jayden Reed, 46 yards |
| Turnovers (GB) | 3 | 4 |
| Turnovers (PHI) | 2 | 0 |
Looking at both games together, a clear pattern shows up. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley have both played very well against Green Bay. The Eagles defense has also done a great job forcing turnovers from Jordan Love. Green Bay has shown flashes of good offense, especially from Jayden Reed, but turnovers have hurt them in both games.
What to Expect Next
These two teams are set to meet again in Week 10 of the 2026 season. The game is scheduled for Monday, November 10, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. This will be a big test for both teams. The Packers added new weapons on offense during the off season, including first round pick Matthew Golden, a wide receiver from Texas. Green Bay hopes this will fix the lack of receiving options that hurt them in the playoff loss.
The Eagles, meanwhile, will look to keep their winning streak against Green Bay going. Philadelphia has not lost to the Packers since December 2020, when Green Bay won 30-16 at Lambeau Field. That means the Eagles will try to end a losing streak at that specific stadium too.
Final Thoughts
When you look at the player stats between the Eagles and Packers over the last two seasons, a few names stand out. Jalen Hurts has been steady and smart with the ball. Saquon Barkley has been a workhorse who scores touchdowns and eats up yards. On defense, players like Nolan Smith Jr. and Reed Blankenship have made big plays when it mattered most. For Green Bay, Jayden Reed has shown he can be a game breaking receiver, but the team needs Jordan Love to protect the ball better if they want to beat Philadelphia again.
As the next matchup gets closer, fans on both sides will be watching closely to see if the Eagles can make it four wins in a row, or if the Packers can finally turn things around.
