Philadelphia Eagles 10-7 Green Bay Packers

Jalen Hurts turned consecutive big plays into Philadelphia's only touchdown to back a dominant performance by the Eagles' defence in a 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.

Green Bay's Brandon McManus was short on a 64-yard field goal on the final play of the game.

Nursing a 3-0 lead early in the fourth quarter, the Eagles needed just four plays to cover 80 yards and go in front 10-0, ending with a 36-yard catch by Devonta Smith from Hurts. The Packers answered with an 11-play, 75-yard march for a six-yard touchdown run by Josh Jacobs to pull within 10-7.

The Packers got the ball back on their own 36 with 27 seconds left. Jordan Love passed to Bo Melton for 19 yards to the Philadelphia 46. Love spiked the ball to stop the clock, then was incomplete on a short pass, forcing the long-field goal attempt.

The Eagles (7-2), who lead the NFC East over the Dallas Cowboys, won their third straight after back-to-back losses.

The Packers have now suffered successive losses, scoring just one touchdown in each defeat.
