Packers lead Eagles 19-17 at halftime in Brazil

A game that started slowly, with turnovers, penalties and slips and falls, turned into an athletic contest in the second quarter, with the teams combining for 30 points and 300 yards in the second period.

The Packers led 19-17 against the Eagles at halftime on Friday night in Brazil.

Receiver Jayden Reed scored two touchdowns for the Packers on a 33-yard run and a 70-yard reception. He had two catches for 79 yards and a touchdown and the touchdown run.

He became just the sixth wide receiver in the past 20 years to score touchdowns of 30-plus yards on a reception and 20-plus yards on a run in the same game. Xavier Worthy did the same for the Chiefs on Thursday night.

The Packers were hit with six penalties for 46 yards and had to settle for two chip-shot, red-zone field goals by Brayden Narveson in the first quarter.

Jordan Love has completed 7 of 14 attempts for 130 yards and a touchdown, and Josh Jacobs has run for just 4 yards on six attempts with one catch for 9 yards.

Jalen Hurts had two turnovers on the Eagles’ first two drives, threw an interception and fumbled a shotgun snap. The Packers, however, converted the misses into just six points.

Hurts has now completed 14 of 22 passes for 154 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a lost fumble.

Saquon Barkley, the Eagles’ big offseason free agent signing, has scored both touchdowns for Philadelphia. He scored on an 18-yard reception and an 11-yard run. He has nine carries for 31 yards and two catches for 23 yards.
