If it wasn’t for a missed extra point, the Eagles would have beaten the Packers, 41-33, on Sunday night, which, of course, was their winning score in Super Bowl LII.
While it may be a reach to connect the two games in many ways, the Eagles’ offensive performance against Green Bay brought back memories of the 2017 team that could produce yards and points at will, no more impressive than in that victory over the Patriots nearly five years ago.
The Eagles weren’t particularly balanced against Green Bay. They did not need to be as Jalen Hurts, Miles Sanders, and a dominating offensive line pounded a sievelike run defense for 363 yards on the ground — the most for the franchise in 74 years. But on the whole this season, coach Nick Sirianni’s offense is as multifaceted as any in recent team history.
