Packers lead 19-17 against Eagles at halftime in Brazil

A game that started slowly, with turnovers, penalties and slips and falls, turned into a track and field contest in the second quarter. The teams combined for 30 points and 300 yards in the second quarter.

The Packers led the Eagles 19-17 at halftime in Brazil on Friday night.

Receiver Jayden Reed scored two touchdowns for the Packers on a 33-yard run and a 70-yard pass reception. He has two catches for 79 yards and a touchdown and the touchdown run.

He is only the sixth wide receiver in the last 20 years to record touchdowns of 30+ yards receiving and 20+ yards running in a game. Xavier Worthy did the same for the Chiefs on Thursday night.

The Packers hurt themselves with six penalties over 46 yards and had to settle for two chip-shot field goals in the red zone by Brayden Narveson in the first quarter.

Jordan Love completed 7 of 14 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown, and Josh Jacobs rushed for just 4 yards on six attempts and caught one pass for 9 yards.

Jalen Hurts had two turnovers, an interception and a dropped shotgun snap on the Eagles’ first two drives, but the Packers were only able to convert those errors into six points.

Hurts is now 14 of 22 for 154 yards with one touchdown, one interception and one lost fumble.

Saquon Barkley, the Eagles’ big free agent this offseason, scored both of Philadelphia’s touchdowns. He scored a touchdown on a pass reception for 18 yards and a run for 11 yards. He has nine carries for 31 yards and two catches for 23 yards.
