Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers

The last game on this list of must-win matchups for the Eagles is the home game against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

This matchup will be the first time since 2016 that Rodgers will be back in Philly, so that has a lot of weight to it. The Eagles are 1-5 against Rodgers, so getting a victory against him is a must in 2022.

Rodgers needs to get knocked down a few notches, and those new defensive additions will be great assets against him in this game. Their speed should be able to rattle him some and give the Eagles’ offense plenty of opportunities to do something with the ball.

If the Eagles can get this win over the Packers, it would be a huge moral victory for them and give them a lot of confidence moving forward from that point in the season.

These two teams faced off in 2020, and Rodgers went 25-of-34 for 295 yards and three scores. This Eagles team isn’t even remotely the same, but they don’t need to focus on what happened in the past instead of how they can beat him now.

This game will be one of the toughest ones for the Eagles, so if they can find a way to slow down Rodgers and that offense, then there is hope it can happen. It’s a must-win situation because beating this powerhouse team gives the Eagles confidence in all the right places.

These are five teams that the Eagles need to circle as must-win situations because defeating them will give them the confidence to make a deep playoff run.

Must Read. It’s kind of weird to still argue that the Eagles didn’t have a good draft. light
