Game Preview

The Philadelphia Eagles, maintaining their perfect September record since 2021 and undefeated in season openers under coach Nick Sirianni, face the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Friday night. This marks the NFL’s inaugural regular-season game in South America.

"We’re focusing on adapting to the unpredictable elements of NFL games by controlling what we can: our effort, attitude, and core principles," Sirianni commented.

The Eagles surged through the early 2022 season, winning their first eight games and starting with a 13-1 record, eventually making it to Super Bowl LVII. Last season, they began 10-1 but exited early in the wild-card round.

Conversely, the Green Bay Packers are entering after a postseason run last season, which ended in a divisional round defeat to the San Francisco 49ers following a dramatic win against the Dallas Cowboys.

Both teams view the Brazil game as strictly professional, with the Eagles scheduled for a rapid itinerary—arriving Wednesday night, preparing at Corinthians Arena on Thursday, and returning immediately post-game.

"This is purely a business trip," noted Eagles receiver A.J. Brown. "Our goal isn’t to sightsee but to secure a win."

The Packers, meanwhile, will practice at Corinthians soccer club’s facility and aim for efficient preparation. "Our main focus is on effectively managing this unique setting and our game strategy against Philadelphia," said Packers coach Matt LaFleur.

Despite the challenges of international travel, including security concerns voiced by players like Eagles cornerback Darius Slay, the teams are focused solely on football.

Prominent offseason acquisitions for both teams, Saquon Barkley for Philadelphia and Josh Jacobs for Green Bay, will be under the spotlight as both seek to make their marks with new teams.

Injury reports indicate the Eagles will be without linebacker Devin White and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, while the Packers have several players listed as questionable.

This unprecedented matchup promises intense competition as both teams kick off their season on international soil.
