The Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers met in Brazil for the second game of the NFL season on Friday night. Both rosters are filled with former Bulldog players, with four former UGA football players suiting up for the Packers and six on the roster for Philadelphia. A host of these players made contributions on Friday.
On the Eagles side of things, linebacker Nakobe Dean shined, recording four tackles and a tackle-for-loss, an encouraging sign for Eagles fans who have been waiting for a linebacker to step up. Along the defensive line, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith each recorded two tackles, while Jordan Davis did not record a stat but started and played for most of the game.
For the Packers, a pair of Bulldogs shared the team lead in tackles, as linebacker Quay Walker and rookie safety Javon Bullard each recorded 11 stops, with Walker adding a tackle-for-loss. Eric Stokes recorded two tackles from the cornerback position, while defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt registered a tackle and a tackle-for-loss.
The Eagles will take their 1-0 record back home against the Atlanta Falcons next Monday night. The Packers, meanwhile, will try to rebound at Lambeau field against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
