Jalen Hurts fought off rust and an intense Packers pass rush to make plays when needed as the Eagles jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first half. Vic Fangio’s defense did a good job of confusing Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love, forcing two interceptions.
Philadelphia lost linebacker Nakobe Dean to a knee injury and will look to finish drives and capitalize on Packers turnovers.
With the second half underway, here are seven takeaways from the first half.

Jalen Hurts had all day to go through his progressions with the TD to Jahan Dotson
Great blocking by the line

Eagles strike first! They've been slow starters this season. They scored on just 19.1% of 1st quarter drives, 5th lowest in NFL.
It sure helps when you force a turnover.#FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/84WfxIhXBm

Jalen Hurts dropped back for 6.75 seconds on his 11-yard TD pass to Jahan Dotson, the longest time to throw on a TD pass from a clean pocket this season.
No Packers pass rusher got within 2.5 yards of Hurts at any point in the dropback. https://t.co/rk1wn2Tku3

Eagles dropped Baun onto the ball late on the Packers first two snaps of the game. Love checks but watch how Baun peels off right into the incoming TE route.
Fangio doing such a good job using Baun creatively this season. https://t.co/kiEt3KShfB pic.twitter.com/Ji4PDawkrz
