SAO PAULO, Brazil -- The field conditions were a major talking point following the Philadelphia Eagles' 34-29 win over the Green Bay Packers on Friday night.
A number of players lost their footing throughout the game and later attributed it to the slick surface at Arena Corinthians, which is normally a soccer stadium. For the Eagles, it stirred some not-so-great recent memories.
"It kind of reminded me of the Super Bowl turf," said tight end Dallas Goedert, referencing the surface in Arizona when the Eagles fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
