Eagles beat Packers in ‘four-quarter fist fight’

DeVonta Smith’s fourth-quarter touchdown helped defending Super Bowl champions the Philadelphia Eagles scrape a 10-7 win against the Green Bay Packers in the NFL.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts found Smith with a 36-yard pass to give the Eagles a 10-0 lead with 10 minutes left at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay’s Josh Jacobs went over with a six-yard run with less than six minutes remaining, but Brandon McManus failed with a 64-yard field goal that would have tied the scores in the final seconds.

“Our defence was outstanding and, unfortunately, just too many mistakes offensively to overcome it.”

Packers quarterback Jordan Love fumbled a scoring opportunity in the final minute of the first half.

A second successive defeat left the Packers third in the NFC North, behind the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears.
