The Philadelphia Eagles put on a dominant display in the first quarter of their wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The game started with a fumble by Packers’ cornerback Keisean Nixon on the opening kickoff, setting the tone for what would be a one-sided affair.

Capitalizing on the turnover, the Eagles quickly took a 7-0 lead with an 11-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts to wide receiver Jahan Dotson. Kicker Jake Elliot then added a 31-yard field goal to extend Philadelphia's lead to 10 points.

The Eagles' strong performance in the first quarter has put them in a commanding position early in the game. With their offense clicking and defense shutting down the Packers, Philadelphia looks poised to continue their dominance as the game progresses.
