GREEN BAY, WI — November 10, 2025
There are wins that make you believe in a team. And there are wins that make you believe in a Championship. Tonight at Lambeau Field, in 33°F cold and under Monday Night Football lights, the Philadelphia Eagles proved they are a true Championship-caliber team.
The 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers wasn’t the “high-scoring explosion” type. It was the “grind down your opponent’s will inch by inch” type. This was old-school football, where defense decides everything, and when opportunity comes, stars know how to seize it.
Quarter 1: Defensive Chess Match
When the opening whistle blew, both teams knew: this would be a battle of wills.
The first quarter ended 0-0, a rare result in the modern NFL era. Not because the offenses were weak, but because both defenses were playing at All-Pro level.
Green Bay showed early aggression with a fourth-and-inches conversion at the Eagles’ 41-yard line, when Jordan Love executed a successful “tush-push”. But that drive was eventually extinguished by relentless pressure from the Eagles’ defensive line.
“This is playoff football in November,” one Eagles fan commented on social media. And they were right.
Quarter 2: Elliott Breaks the Ice
If someone told you that a field goal would feel like a touchdown, they’re talking about this game.
Jake Elliott broke the deadlock with a perfect field goal, giving the Eagles a 3-0 lead late in Q2. In a game where every point is precious as gold, this was the first crucial moment of the night.
But more importantly, it was proof of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s patience. The Eagles didn’t try to force plays. They ran the ball methodically, used play-action to keep the Packers defense honest, and trusted Elliott’s ability when the opportunity came.
Halftime: 3-0. Low? Yes. But for the Eagles, this was exactly the game plan they wanted.
Quarter 3: Hunt’s Statement & Hurts’ Turnover
Quarter 3 witnessed both the highs and lows of the Eagles.
The High: Rookie edge rusher Jalyx Hunt (#68) exploded with a devastating 11-yard sack on Jordan Love. This wasn’t just a negative play; it was a momentum shift. Hunt tore through the Packers’ offensive line as if they didn’t exist, and Love could only try to escape.
The Low: Jalen Hurts fumbled on a designed QB run after contact and a punch-out by a Packers defender. This was one of Hurts’ rare mistakes of the night, but it reminded us that in a game like this, every possession is precious.
Quarter 3 ended still 3-0, and all of Eagles Nation held their breath waiting.
Quarter 4: DeVonta Smith — “Slim Reaper” Strikes
And then, when the Eagles needed it most, Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith delivered.
A perfect 77-yard drive, combining patient run plays and precise passes, took the Eagles into the Packers’ red zone. And when the moment came, Hurts found Smith in a position only elite receivers can create.
Touchdown.
Eagles led 10-0, and for the first time all night, you could see hope fading in the eyes of the Packers sideline.
“That’s what superstars do,” HC Nick Sirianni said postgame. “When the moment is biggest, they show up.”
The Response: Jacobs Fights Back
But the Packers weren’t a team that gives up easily. Josh Jacobs, with the tenacity characteristic of a Pro Bowl RB, plowed through the Eagles defensive line and scored his 11th TD of the season, cutting the score to 10-7.
Lambeau Field erupted. The Packers had momentum. And suddenly, this was a one-possession game with minutes remaining.
The Final Stand: “Slam the Door”
This is when championship teams are defined.
The Eagles defense, having played like warriors all night, gave the Packers not one more inch. Every play, every tackle, every pass breakup — all executed with the ferocity of a team that knows they’re fighting for NFC supremacy.
When Jordan Love’s final pass fell incomplete, the Eagles had officially sealed the victory.
10-7. Final.
