The Green Bay Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 34-29 to kick off the NFL season on Friday. Here are three takeaways from Week 1.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – No game is prone to more overreaction than Week 1. Unscouted looks, rusty veterans and rookie debuts add an air of uncertainty. Throw in a 10-hour flight and a soccer field that doubled as a skating rink, and the Green Bay Packers’ 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles is particularly hard to judge.
Reed caught 4-of-6 targets for 138 yards. He had a 70-yard touchdown catch, a 33-yard reception on the sideline in the waning moments to give the team a pulse and a 33-yard touchdown run. Those were the Packers’ three longest plays of the game. In seven opportunities, he gained 171 yards. The other 51 plays gained 243 yards.
“Obviously, we’ve got a lot of guys that can make plays,” Reed said. “We’ve just got to keep finding ways to get better at executing our job so we can get everybody involved and we can be a powerful offense.”During an abbreviated training camp due to the torn pectoral suffered during the offseason, Tucker Kraft made more plays than Luke Musgrave in the passing game.
“We’re trying to be known as a defensive team,” cornerback Eric Stokes said a few days before the game. “Whenever they think about the Packers, they think about the defense. It’s going to start Friday night.” When it was time to win the game, Hafley’s defense looked suspiciously like Joe Barry’s. The Eagles led 31-29 when they took possession with 7:52 remaining. They ran 16 plays for 67 yards, picked up six first downs and drained all but 27 seconds off the clock. Only a fumbled snap limited the damage to three points.
