Philadelphia holds off Green Bay in Brazil as Saquon Barkley shines in Eagles debut

The first NFL game in South America ultimately turned into a spirited back-and-forth offensive battle as the Philadelphia Eagles hung on to defeat the Green Bay Packers, 34-29.

But the historic game ended with concerns about Packers starting quarterback Jordan Love, who appeared in immense pain after taking a hit in the game’s final seconds and had to be helped off the field. Packers head coach Matt LeFleur did not have an immediate update on Love after the game.

In his first game in an Eagles uniform after spending his first six seasons with the New York Giants, running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries and caught one more, while Jalen Hurts was 20-of-34 passing for 278 yards and two touchdowns.
