Every time the Eagles and Packers meet, you know you’re getting a physical, defense-heavy kind of football game. Their most recent matchup, played on Monday Night Football in Week 10 of the 2025 season, followed that exact script. Low scoring, tight all the way through, and decided by a defense that simply refused to budge.
Let’s walk through what actually happened on the field, and who stood out when it mattered.
Final Score and Game Setting
This one was played at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, and honestly, the scoreboard barely moved for most of the night.
| Team | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Final |
| Philadelphia Eagles | 0 | 0 | 3 | 7 | 10 |
| Green Bay Packers | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 7 |
Believe it or not, the first half ended 0-0. That hadn’t happened on Monday Night Football in over a decade before this game. Philadelphia’s defense basically shut Green Bay down for 54 straight minutes before the Packers finally got on the board late.
Quarterback Performance
Neither quarterback had a night full of fireworks, but both put up decent yardage under a lot of pressure from the opposing defense.
| Player | Team | Completions | Attempts | Yards | Touchdowns | Other |
| Jalen Hurts | PHI | 15 | 26 | 183 | 1 | — |
| Jordan Love | GB | 20 | 36 | 176 | 0 | 3 sacks, 2 fumbles lost |
Jordan Love actually threw for a bit more volume, but the three sacks and two lost fumbles tell you how much trouble Philadelphia’s pass rush gave him all night. Jalen Hurts didn’t put up huge numbers either, but he made his one big throw count.
Running Back Numbers
Both teams leaned on their running backs early, trying to control the clock and keep the pressure off their quarterbacks.
| Player | Team | Carries | Yards | Touchdowns |
| Saquon Barkley | PHI | 22 | 60 | 0 |
| Josh Jacobs | GB | 21 | 74 | 1 |
Josh Jacobs actually out-gained Barkley on the ground and scored the Packers’ only touchdown of the night. Barkley didn’t have his most explosive game, but he still handled a heavy workload as Philadelphia tried to grind down the clock.

Who Made the Big Plays Through the Air
Receiving numbers were modest across the board, which makes sense given how tight the defense played on both sides. But one name stood out above everyone else.
| Player | Team | Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns |
| DeVonta Smith | PHI | 4 | 69 | 1 |
| Josh Jacobs | GB | 5 | 33 | 0 |
| Dontayvion Wicks | GB | 4 | 38 | 0 |
| Christian Watson | GB | 2 | 45 | 0 |
DeVonta Smith was the difference maker here. With just over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, he hauled in a 36 yard touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts that ended up being the game winning score. Considering how quiet the offense had been all night, that one play basically decided the outcome.
Defense Was the Real Story
If you actually watched this game, you’d know the real headline wasn’t the offense at all. It was how well both defenses played, especially Philadelphia’s.
| Player | Team | Tackles | Sacks | Notable |
| Zach Baun | Zach BaunGB | 8 (5 solo) | — | Led all tacklers |
| Xavier McKinney | GB | 7 (4 solo) | — | — |
| Nick Smith Jr. | PHI | — | 1 | — |
| Jaelan Phillips | PHI | — | — | Fumble recovery on Eagles debut |
Jaelan Phillips, who Philadelphia had just traded for right before the deadline, made an immediate impact by recovering a fumble in his very first game with the team. That kind of instant contribution is exactly what teams hope for when they make a trade like that midseason.
A Missed Kick That Could’ve Changed Everything
One moment that deserves its own mention: late in the game, Green Bay kicker Brandon McManus lined up for a 64-yard field goal attempt. Had he made it, it would have set a new Green Bay franchise record and sent the game into overtime. He didn’t make it, and Philadelphia held on to win 10-7.
Team Totals
Here’s how the two teams stacked up overall by the end of the night.
| Stat | Philadelphia | Green Bay |
| Total Yards | 294 | 261 |
| Turnovers | 1 | 2 |
| 1st Downs | 13 | 18 |
| 3rd Down Conversions | 7/16 | 5/13 |
| Time of Possession | 32:05 | 27:55 |
Green Bay actually picked up more first downs and moved the ball more consistently in stretches, but turnovers ended up being the deciding factor. Two lost fumbles from Jordan Love gave Philadelphia extra chances they didn’t waste.
What This Result Meant
This win pushed Philadelphia to 7-2 on the season, keeping them tied at the top of the NFC alongside Seattle and Los Angeles at the midpoint of the year. It was also their second straight road win where their defense held opponents to almost nothing, outscoring their last two opponents by a combined 20 to 7.
For Green Bay, the loss dropped them to 5-3-1 and third place in the NFC North. Back-to-back home losses, combined with a stretch where their offense managed just 20 total points over two games, raised some real questions about a team that had entered the season with Super Bowl-level expectations.
Final Word
Games like this rarely show up on highlight reels, but they’re exactly the kind of matchup that shows what a team is really made of. Philadelphia’s defense carried the day, DeVonta Smith delivered when it counted, and Green Bay was left wondering what could’ve been if that final field goal had gone through. Given how competitive this rivalry has been over the years, with Green Bay still holding a 28-21 edge in the all-time series, you can bet their next meeting will bring the same kind of intensity.
