How to watch Eagles vs. Packers with and without cable: Full Wild Card streaming guide
The 2024 NFL season began for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers with those teams matched up against each other in Brazil. They wound up playing an entertaining game, with the Eagles scraping by with a 34-29 win. Saquon Barkley ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns in his Philly debut, foreshadowing what was to come. But the main story to come out of that game, of course, was Jordan Love's injury, which would knock him out for each of Green Bay's next two games.
Both teams got off to 2-2 starts but took off around the same time, establishing themselves as clear playoff teams in the NFC. The Eagles won 12 of their next 13 games, winning the NFC East rather comfortably. While that's all fine and well, Jalen Hurts missed each of Philadelphia's last two games with a concussion. The Eagles hope he can play, but that isn't a guarantee as of this writing.
The Packers won nine of their next 11 contests following their 2-2 start, but finished their season on a two-game losing streak. Perhaps more jarringly, both Love and Christian Watson suffered injuries in their final game of the regular season. Love appears to be trending in the right direction when it comes to playing on Sunday, but as is the case with Hurts, his availability isn't a guarantee either right now. Obviously, an injury to one of those quarterbacks can drastically impact what could wind up being an incredibly competitive game otherwise.
In terms of the six games that are going to be played on Wild Card Weekend, this matchup is as good as any. Both the Eagles and Packers have rosters strong enough to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, and there's reason to believe both of these teams wish they had different matchups in the first round of the playoffs.
With this game being as intriguing as it is, NFL fans who are unable to attend the event in person will want to watch it on TV. Here's how that can be done.
