After securing a 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Friday night, Philadelphia Eagles players headed to the locker room to celebrates. However, quarterback Jalen Hurts stayed behind with something else on his mind. He frantically sought out Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Moments earlier, with just seconds remaining in the game, Love went down with what appeared to be a very serious leg injury. He was eventually helped to the sideline, where he’d remain as the Eagles enjoyed the sweet taste of victory. Recognizing the potential long-term implication of the injury, Hurts made it his mission to find Love.…
Humans aren’t the only ones hyped about football being back. One rabbit got a little too excited during Friday’s college football contest between Northwestern and Duke. Northwestern held a 10-7 lead over Duke early in the third quarter at Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium in Evanston, Ill. But the game was halted due to a rabbit invading the field. Northwestern’s mascot Willie the Wildcat fittingly tried to hunt down the rabbit. The critter’s animal instincts seemed to kick in once it sensed the threat. The rabbit ran across the end zone and eventually off the field. Football guy pic.twitter.com/2T81bEpkBD —…
There are two things NFL teams and fans hope for each week: to win the game and come out healthy. The Green Bay Packers may be going 0-for-2 on that front. The Packers lost 34-29 to the Philadelphia Eagles Friday at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paolo, Brazil. On top of that, quarterback Jordan Love exited with an injury on the Packers’ final possession. Love had his left leg twisted while trying to shovel a pass to Josh Jacobs to avoid a sack. A couple of sports doctors on X speculated that Love may have suffered a high ankle sprain or…
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love suffered a scary leg injury late in his team’s Friday matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paolo Brazil. The Packers got the ball back down 34-29 with under 30 seconds left in the contest. On the first play of the drive, Love found Jayden Reed for a 33-yard reception to get Green Bay to Philadelphia’s 49. But with Eagles defenders swarming all over Love on the next play, Love wasn’t able to get off a throw. The Packers QB was able to shovel the football to running back Josh Jacobs…

Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love weren’t the only ones who needed backups for their teams’ Friday showdown in Brazil. A couple of Philadelphia Eagles reporters also needed to get backups of their own. The social media website X, where reporters usually post their scoops and thoughts, is currently banned in Brazil. That made things tricky for the handful of reporters who followed the Eagles and Green Bay Packers for their matchup at Corinthians Arena in Sao…

Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Saquon Barkley is already looking like the missing piece for the Philadelphia Eagles. The new Eagles running back Barkley wasted absolutely no time during Friday’s season opener against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. He opened up the scoring for Philly with an 18-yard touchdown reception from Jalen Hurts in the second quarter. Barkley then followed that up with an 11-yard touchdown run later on in the same quarter. HURTS TO SAQUON FOR THE @EAGLES…

Both the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers apparently needed to shake off a little rust to start off their Week 1 matchup. The Packers had 3rd-and-6 at the Eagles’ 36-yard line on Friday’s opening drive at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Packers QB Jordan Love connected with wide receiver Jayden Reed on what was initially ruled a 38-yard touchdown. But the play was overturned due to offsetting penalties as both the Packers and the Eagles had 12 men on the field.
