GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers went on the road and beat the Philadelphia Eagles in a wild-card game in 2010 to kick-start their drive to a Super Bowl championship.
Can history repeat itself?
Here are three reasons why the underdog Packers will beat the Eagles in Sunday’s NFC wild-card showdown.
Packers’ Run Defense vs. Saquon Barkley
Chances are the winner of this matchup will be the winner of the game.
Barkley had a historic season. He ran away with the NFL rushing title, pun intended, with 2,005 rushing yards. He topped 100 yards in 11 of his 16 games, including against Green Bay in Week 1, when he carried 24 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns and added two catches for 23 yards and another touchdown in the Eagles’ 34-29 win.
