The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will do battle in the NFC Wild Card Round from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday.
The playoff showdown is a rematch of the Eagles’ 34-29 win over the Packers from Brazil in Week 1.
The winner on Sunday will move on to the NFC Divisional Round. If the Packers pull off the upset, they will head to Detroit to play the top-seeded Lions at Ford Field next weekend. First things first — the Packers must repeat their feat from last year and beat the NFC’s No. 2 seed as the visiting No. 7 seed.

Updates, highlights
Three starters active: The Packers will have linebacker Quay Walker, safety Evan Williams and defensive lineman TJ Slaton available — all three are active. Walker and Williams are returning after missing three straight games to end the regular season. Defensive end Brenton Cox Jr. — who had sacks in four of his last seven games — is back after missing the season finale. Can they help the Packers stand tall defensively against Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley?
Disaster start: Keisean Nixon fumbled the opening kickoff, Carrington Valentine missed a tackle on an explosive run by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts had all day to throw on an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jahan Dotson. It’s 7-0 and this game is only 99 seconds old. Packers need to find their footing and respond quick.
Eagles go up 10-0: The Packers punted on back-to-back possessions, and the Eagles took over after the second punt, drove 57 yards in 11 yards and kicked a field goal to go up 10-0. Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts both had rushes over 15 yards.
Packers lose Jenkins, Wyatt: The Packers ruled out Elgton Jenkins (shoulder) and Devonte Wyatt (lower leg) with injuries.
Gary sack helps end drive: The Eagles punted the ball back to the Packers after their first possession stalled following back-to-back disruptive plays, including a sack from Rashan Gary on second down. The Packers defense is holding strong and keeping Green Bay in the game.

Packers get on the board: The Packers finally sustained a drive on offense, going 76 yards in 12 plays to set up a short field goal. A big catch from Dontayvion Wicks on third down and a pass interference penalty from Eagles rookie Quinyon Mitchell (against Wicks) helped the drive.
Doubs hurt: Packers receiver Romeo Doubs fell hard on his head in the end zone and is being evaluated for another concussion. He suffered a confirmed concussion against the 49ers on Nov. 24 and missed two games.
Eagles respond quickly: The Packers defense finally wilted, and the Eagles drove 68 yards in just five plays to respond to Green Bay’s field goal. Dallas Goedert rumbled through Carrington Valentine and scored a 22-yard touchdown. Jake Elliott missed the extra point. It’s 16-3. The Packers are in big trouble.
Josh Jacobs beast mode: Just watch.

Packers cut lead to 16-10: Josh Jacobs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks gained first downs, and Jacobs went Beast Mode to set up his own 1-yard touchdown run. The 78-yard touchdown drive has the Packers within six point with 14:56 left
Packers back down two scores: Jake Elliott hit a 30-yard field goal to put the Eagles back up two scores at 19-10. There’s 7:33 left. Can the Packers get two scores?
Season ends: The Packers lost 22-10 after turning the ball over four times and suffering numerous injuries. Green Bay ended the season on a three-game losing streak.
