Week 10 Monday Night Football Statistical Review: Eagles hold on in a low-scoring battle with Packers

  • One explosive play was the difference: Jalen Hurts' deep shot to DeVonta Smith proved pivotal, propelling the Eagles past the Packers in a 10-7 slugfest.
  • Neither run game found much room to work: Both teams averaged negative EPA on early- and late-down rushes, and the Eagles were particularly hurt by Lane Johnson's injury.

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Philadelphia Eagles took a huge step toward favorable playoff seeding, winning 10-7 against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football in Week 10.


Game Summary

According to the PFF noise-canceled score metric, the game wasn’t quite as defensively dominated as the BroncosRaiders‘ Thursday contest, but both offenses struggled mightily once reaching midfield. At the end of the day, one explosive play for a touchdown was the difference in a slugfest.


Passing Summary

The Packers didn’t get anything going through the air. For three quarters, one could say the same about the Eagles, but then Jalen Hurts found DeVonta Smith for a deep game-winning touchdown.


Receiving Summary

Luke Musgrave couldn’t quite replace an injured Tucker Kraft, and a lot of attempted air yards didn’t materialize for the Packers on a disappointing night for their receiving corps.

DeVonta Smith made the game-winning play, but it was notable that A.J. Brown saw only two targets for 15 air yards before the final Eagles’ offensive play of the game, which almost brought the Packers back into the game.


Rushing Summary

Lane Johnson‘s departure due to injury immediately hurt the Eagles' run game, which couldn’t get much going all night. The Packers faced light boxes throughout the game and still weren’t successful on the ground.
