Jalen Hurts had three turnovers, but the Eagles found a way to beat the Green Bay Packers, 34-39, in the season opener held in Sau Paolo, Brazil.
Saquon Barkley wasted little time making good on the investment the Eagles made in him with a three-year contract for nearly $40 million in the offseason.
Barkley ran for 109 yards on 24 carries. It was his 18th 100-plus-yard game of his career. Only Terrell Owens scored three TDs in his Eagles debut. In six seasons and 74 games with the New York Giants, Barkley had only one game with three touchdowns. Hurts then nearly coughed the ball up again the final seconds at the 1-yard line, fumbling the snap in an attempted tush push. Barkley fell on it and Jake Elliott kicked a 21-yard field goal with 27 second to go to account for the final score.
