Jordan Love, Packers Defense Disappoint NFL Fans in Loss vs. Jalen Hurts, Eagles

Andrew PetersSep 7, 2024

The Green Bay Packers will leave Brazil with nothing to show for after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles 34-29 in their season opener on Friday.

For much of the game, the Packers looked like the team that snuck into the playoffs and beat the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round. They capitalized off a pair of early turnovers to make it a 6-0 game in the first quarter, but their stout defense quickly faded as Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and the Eagles offense had their way with Green Bay's defense.

It was a less-than-desirable game for Jordan Love after the Packers made him tied for the highest-paid quarterback over the offseason. The fourth-year player had 260 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception on 17-of-34 passing. He had some questionable decision-making that had fans wondering if he was worth the high price this offseason.

Green Bay fans were also disappointed with the Packers' defense.

Adding to the Packers' woes in their season-opener, Love went down awkwardly after being tackled on the final drive of the game and was helped off the field in obvious pain. He didn't return for the last play of the game as Malik Willis entered under center but was sacked before he could get a Hail Mary attempt off.

The severity of Love's injury is unclear at this point, but Packers fans can only hope he'll be back on the field in Week 2.
