Sun Jan 12 21:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Eagles to Face Packers in Wild Card Playoff Showdown
**PHILADELPHIA, PA** – The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Green Bay Packers in a highly anticipated Wild Card round playoff matchup this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff is set for 4:30 PM EST, airing on FOX and various streaming platforms including NFL+, Fox Sports, and YouTube TV.
The No. 2 seeded Eagles, coming off a week of rest, will face the No. 7 seeded Packers in a rematch of their season opener in Brazil, which the Eagles won 34-29. All eyes will be on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is playing his first game since recovering from a concussion. While key players A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith briefly missed practice due to injury, both are expected to play.
The Packers enter the game with their own concerns. Quarterback Jordan Love is recovering from an elbow injury sustained in the regular season’s final week, though he is officially off the injury report. His performance against the league’s top-ranked Eagles defense will be a crucial factor.
Former Eagles fullback Jon Ritchie expressed concern about kicker Jake Elliott’s playoff readiness, particularly on long-distance field goal attempts. This concern highlights the pressure surrounding every point in the postseason.
This marks the fourth playoff meeting between the Eagles and Packers, with the Eagles holding a 2-1 advantage in previous playoff encounters, most notably a 1960 NFL Championship Game victory against Vince Lombardi’s Packers.
