Eagles Lose 24-9 to Packers in Preseason Opener; Carson Wentz Throws 1 TD

The Green Bay Packers opened their 2017 preseason with a 24-9 win over the Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

It was a fairly uneventful evening all around with Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Alshon Jeffery resting, but the Eagles' first-team offense did show flashes in the first quarter.

During his lone series under center, starter Carson Wentz connected on all four of his pass attempts for 56 yards, including a 38-yard scoring strike to Mack Hollins (four catches, 64 yards) that was facilitated by some tremendous work after the catch.
