Eagles head to Green Bay after beating Packers twice last season

Sunday, November 9, 2025 2:17PM

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers twice last season on their way to winning the Super Bowl.

The two teams meet again in a Monday night matchup at Lambeau Field.

The Packers get a chance to measure themselves against the team that beat them 22-10 in last year's NFC wild-card playoff round.

The Packers also are attempting to bounce back after losing 16-13 at home to Carolina last week as a 13-point favorite.

The Eagles had last week off after rushing for 276 yards in a 38-20 win over the New York Giants.

### Eagles player to watch

LB Zack Baun is one of only three players in the NFL along with Detroit's Jack Campbell and Miami's Tyrel Dodson to have at least 60 tackles, three sacks, one forced fumble and one takeaway this season. Pro Football Focus gives him the top pass-rushing grade of all NFL linebackers. Baun delivered big performances in Philadelphia's two wins over Green Bay last season. He had two sacks in the Eagles' regular-season victory in Brazil and had an interception in the playoff matchup.

### Packers player to watch

TE Luke Musgrave is going to have to help the Packers pick up the slack now that they've lost Tucker Kraft, who was having a Pro Bowl-caliber season before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament against Carolina. Kraft had been leading the Packers in yards receiving (489) and touchdown catches (six). Musgrave has nine catches for 88 yards this season. He was selected in the second round during the same 2023 draft in which Kraft was taken in the third round.

### Key matchup

Packers passing game vs. Eagles pass defense: Jordan Love completed only half his pass attempts in a season-opening loss to the Eagles last season before leaving with a knee injury late in the game. With injuries decimating Green Bay's offensive line and receiving group, Love threw three interceptions without a touchdown pass in the Packers' playoff loss at Philadelphia. Love will need to be better for the Packers to win Monday. He failed to throw a touchdown pass in a game for the first time this season against Carolina.

### Key injuries

Eagles: C Cam Jurgens (knee) has been ruled out. CB Jakorian Bennett (pectoral), G/C Willie Lampkin (knee/ankle) and OLB Nolan Smith (triceps) are questionable.

Packers: Kraft is out for the season. DL Lukas Van Ness (foot) will miss a fourth straight game. CB Nate Hobbs (knee) also has been ruled out. WR Matthew Golden (shoulder), OT Zach Tom (back), WR Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and WR Savion Williams (foot) are questionable. Wicks has missed two straight games.

The Eagles have beaten the Packers three straight times, including the 34-29 win at Brazil and the wild-card playoff game last season during their run to a Super Bowl title. Barkley had 132 yards from scrimmage (109 rushing, 23 receiving) and three touchdowns against Green Bay in the regular-season game, and he rushed for 119 yards in the playoff matchup. The Eagles also beat the Packers 40-33 in Philadelphia in 2022. Green Bay's most recent win in this series was a 30-16 triumph at home during the pandemic season of 2020.
