After a sloppy start that was marked by penalties and turnovers, the Eagles and Packers put on fireworks display in Brazil, but it was Saquon Barkley who stole the show in a 34-29 Eagles win. The former Giants running back inked a three-year, $37.5 million dollar deal in the offseason that’s paying dividends after just one game.
Barkley tied an Eagles record with three touchdowns in his debut — a mark that was set by Terrell Owens ion his first game with Philadelphia back in 2004. He had 24 carries for 109 yards on the ground with two rushing touchdowns and had two receptions for 23 yards an a receiving touchdown.
Jordan Love went 17-for-34 for 260 yards and two touchdowns for Green Bay, but was knocked out of the game and needed to be helped to the sideline with five seconds left as the Packers were trying for a desperation win. Malik Willis came in and threw an incomplete pass and then was sacked by Eagles’ linebacker Zack Baun to end the game.
