Packers' defense, eager for test vs. Eagles, fails

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, and three starting offensive linemen may not have suited up for Green Bay's potent offense Saturday night.

But for the first time this summer, the Packers had all 11 preferred starters on defense for their preseason game against the Eagles. And Green Bay couldn't wait to see how it fared against Chip Kelly's fastbreak offense.

Afterward, the Packers were beaten, broken, and still trying to catch their breath.

The Eagles scored touchdowns on all three of their possessions. The breathtaking performance helped them race to a 25-0 lead and roll past the Packers, 39-26.
