Philadelphia Eagles Edge Out Green Bay Packers in Historic Brazil Game

Philadelphia Eagles Edge Out Green Bay Packers in Historic Brazil Game

In an exciting matchup that opened the NFL season internationally, the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Green Bay Packers 34-29 in the first NFL game ever held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at Arena Corinthians. The night belonged to Saquon Barkley, who made a stunning debut with the Eagles, scoring three touchdowns, a feat only matched by Terrell Owens back in 2004.

Barkley finished the night with 132 yards from scrimmage, including 109 rushing yards and a solid average of 4.5 yards per carry. He began his scoring with an 18-yard receiving touchdown in the first half, followed by an 11-yard rushing score. The final touchdown came in a tense moment in the fourth quarter with a 2-yard run that gave the Eagles the lead for good.

Despite a shaky performance from Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who recorded three turnovers, including a crucial red zone interception, the team showed resilience. Hurts did connect on a spectacular 67-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown, who ended with five catches for 119 yards.

For the Packers, Jayden Reed stole the show in the first half, scoring on both a 33-yard rushing and a 70-yard receiving touchdown. He finished his night with 138 yards from scrimmage, making a significant impact for Green Bay, even as they struggled in key moments.

The Eagles held the Packers to only one touchdown from four red zone trips and maintained control of the ball for over seven minutes in the final stretch, culminating in a game-sealing field goal.

As the thrilling contest wrapped up, Eagles fans celebrated an opening win while the Packers faced concern over quarterback Jordan Love’s injury late in the game. Next on the Eagles’ agenda is a matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on September 16, while the Packers will host the Indianapolis Colts on September 15. It was a wild start to the season, leaving fans excited for what’s to come.
