Pro Picks: Eagles Will Beat the Packers in a Playoff Rematch on Monday Night
The Eagles and Packers renew a rivalry dating to 1960, with the Eagles seeking to build on last year's 22-10 playoff victory at Lambeau Field, both teams as Super Bowl contenders.
- On Monday, Green Bay hosts Philadelphia at Lambeau Field in a rematch after the Packers lost twice to the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles last year, including a 22-10 wild-card defeat.
- Decades ago, the rivalry started with the 1960 NFL Championship upset of Vince Lombardi's Packers at Franklin Field, including the 2003 '4th-and-26' Freddie Mitchell catch.
- Eagles defenders repeatedly disrupted Green Bay's offense, forcing turnovers as Oren Burks caused an opening kickoff fumble leading to a Jahan Dotson touchdown, while Quinyon Mitchell picked off Jordan Love.
- The earlier victory propelled the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl, while Green Bay Packers leaders call the rematch a measuring-stick to confront where it went wrong.
- Playoff implications are significant as NFC standings tighten, and Green Bay reshaped its roster with Micah Parsons, Jaire Alexander, and Michael Carter II after last year's postseason loss.
