It’s turning out to be a nightmare of a season for Doug Pederson’s Philadelphia Eagles. Carson Wentz and Co. slumped to a humbling 30-16 loss at the hands of the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers. This was their 8th loss of the season.
The Eagles remain at the 3rd spot in the NFC East Division behind the reinforced New York Giants and the Washington Football Team.
The loss against the Packers was made worse after Head Coach Doug Pederson brought on rookie Jalen Hurts to replace veteran QB Carson Wentz in the 3rd quarter.

The highly-rated Jalen Hurts put in a strong display in place of Wentz throwing for 100+ yards. He also scored the first passing touchdown of his short NFL career in the final quarter.
