- The five highest paid players in the NFL
The Philadelphia Eagles got the victory in the NFL's first ever game in Brazil, as they beat the Green Bay Packers 34-29 at the Neo Química Arena in Sao Paulo, the most populated city in the South American country.
A game that will be much talked about due to the condition of the grass and how it caused some players to stumble, but which did not disappoint in of sports, as the game reached the two-minute break with just two points difference between the two teams.
Jalen Hurts had a difficult night, completing 20 of 34 es for 278 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions and with that said, he had a lot of help from his teammates, especially in the running game.
Saquon Barkley had a dream debut with the Eagles, rushing 24 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns, as well as two receptions for 23 yards and also a receiving touchdown. A.J. Brown had five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown catch, with DeVonta Smith as the man Hurts looked for the most, with seven receptions for 84 yards.
Jordan Love could not finish the game
The Packers are very worried. Jordan Love was 17 of 34 through the air for 260 yards, with 2 TDs and 1 INT, but the problem was at the end. He got injured after getting his ankle tangled up with two defenders in the last offensive series, so the team will be waiting to see how serious it is.
Love was unable to complete the game, as his last play was with six seconds left to play. Center Josh Myers also left injured, so substitutes Malik Willis and Jacob Monk came in. Willis was stopped from behind on the last play and Philadelphia came away with the win in Brazil.
The trip itself was interesting with many stipulations that had to be dealt with but there is still yet to be seen if the league will be interested in returning to Brazil especially after the field was a complete disaster and could have provoked more injuries.
