Jordan Love was injured in the final seconds as the Eagles beat the Packers in the first NFL game in South America


Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love suffered an injury in the final seconds of his team's 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil on Friday.

On the penultimate play of the game, with the Packers in their own territory and looking for a miracle to win the game, Love took a hit to the legs from the Eagles defenders.

At that point, he handed the ball to running back Josh Jacobs and fell to the ground.

But after the play, Love was seen writhing in pain and needed help getting off the field.

Former third-round pick Malik Willis, whom the Packers acquired from the Tennessee Titans this offseason, ran the final two plays for Green Bay.

Love, in his second year as a full-time starter, threw for 260 yards with two touchdowns and an interception before the injury, and had the Packers in position to take the lead several times late in the game.

But Love failed to lead a touchdown drive in the Packers' final five series, and managed just one field goal in the game's final 27 minutes.

Love had high expectations heading into his second season after leading the Packers to a playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys last season. Love threw for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2023, then 466 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions in two playoff games.

If Willis is out for a significant amount of time, the Packers will need him to step up. The team's next three games are against the Colts, Titans and Vikings, all teams that failed to make the playoffs last season. But their schedule gets tougher starting in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are undefeated in Brazil after claiming victory in the first NFL game played in South America.

Saquon Barkley led the way for Philadelphia, scoring three touchdowns with 132 total yards in his Eagles debut. Barkley bounced back after his first snap with the Eagles was a five-yard loss after slipping on a pass play.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 278 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and also had a fumble after a failed exchange with new center Cameron Jurgens, who replaced Jason Kelce after his retirement this year.

Jurgens had multiple bad snaps in the game and the Eagles nearly lost a fumble at the goal line in the final minute.
