The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers delivered a defensive struggle Monday night that ended in a 10-7 victory for the reigning champions and a brief postgame exchange between NFL quarterbacks Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts captured fans’ attention. Social media users praised the sportsmanship on display after a game in which both signal-callers were kept largely in check by stout defenses.
The matchup at Lambeau Field featured little offensive production early, with neither side scoring in the first half. The Eagles finally got on the board with a Jake Elliott field goal in the third quarter, and Hurts added a fourth-quarter touchdown to DeVonta Smith. The Packers answered late with a Josh Jacobs rushing score, but their comeback fell short.

Both teams’ defensive game plans were effective, frustrating opposing passers and limiting big plays. Love finished with modest passing yardage and struggled to find a rhythm against Philadelphia’s front, while Hurts faced relentless pressure and credited the Eagles’ defense as one of the toughest he had encountered this season. The performance underscored how quickly a high-scoring reputation can be neutralised by disciplined coverage and timely pass rush.
After the final whistle both quarterbacks met near midfield and exchanged a handshake and brief words, a moment that was shared widely on social platforms. The NFL’s official account posted the clip with a note about mutual respect, and fans responded by applauding the professionalism and composure of both players in a tightly contested game. Commenters contrasted the handshake with more heated exchanges seen in other matchups, viewing it as a reminder that rivalry need not descend into unsportsmanlike conduct.
