If the Packers' path to the playoffs was described as an uphill battle before the "Sunday Night Football" game against the Eagles, it could perhaps be described as staring up at a cliff after.
Green Bay fell in Philadelphia 40-33 to drop to 4-8 on the season. That record puts them three games behind the 7-5 Commanders for the last wild-card spot in the NFC playoff picture.
Adding to the Packers' latest loss was the injury rib suffered by quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the first half that was exacerbated in the third quarter and which forced him to leave the game.
