Eagles pounce on mistake-prone Packers

And the beatings go on this wild-card weekend.

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers, 22-10, on Sunday at the Linc, meaning the first four NFL playoff games had been won by the home team decided by double digits.

The Eagles advance to the Division Round with a home game against a winner of one of the two remaining wild-card games. The Detroit Lions as the top seed will get the lowest surviving NFC team and the Eagles will get the other.

The Packers helped the Eagles with sloppy play. Matt LaFleur said at the half it was the worst 30 minutes Green Bay had played all season.

In the end, there were three interceptions thrown by Jordan Love, a lost fumble on the game’s opening kickoff, and eight penalties for 85 yards.

That was far too much to overcome against an Eagles team that is  now 15-3 overall.

Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes. Saquon Barkley ran for 119 yards and Dallas Goedert and Jahan Dotson each had a touchdown reception.
