Green Bay has vaulted into NFC contention two weeks into the season, led by Jordan Love’s efficient growth and a defense that now looks elite with four-man rushes and disguised coverages. The Packers’ bite comes from a rising offense, weapons like Reed and Golden, and a run game anchored by Jacobs, all while Micah Parsons anchors a disruptive front that has held opponents to 15.5 points per game and kept touchdowns out of the first three quarters this year.

Love has been surgical in his reads, notably connecting on downfield throws while maximizing efficiency even without top targets. The defense also adapts on the fly, and Parsons’ blend of speed and versatility is a catalyst. The Eagles may have to contend with a more balanced, multiple-threat Packers team that could redefine the NFC’s pecking order as the season unfolds.
