The Eagles started 2024 the way they ended 2023, with two early turnovers, including a Jalen Hurts interception of a deep ball to DeVonta Smith.
After the Philadelphia defense held Green Bay to two first-quarter field goals, the Eagles finally got on the scoreboard when Jalen Hurts connected with Saquon Barkley for an 18-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter.

Barkley is a dynamic playmaker, and his versatility was on display as he beat the Packers linebacker in a one-on-one matchup to the corner of the end zone.
In his first game with the Eagles, Barkley had five carries for 13 yards rushing (2.6 avg), one catch for 18 yards, and a touchdown.
