Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes headline the Packers’ secondary, ready to face the Eagles’ formidable receiving duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The Eagles’ offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore, highlighted the explosive talent of defensive tackle Kenny Clark, emphasizing the challenge the Eagles will face.
With a fresh interior lineup, including Cam Jurgens at center and Mekhi Becton at right guard, the Eagles are set for a new chapter in their offense. The dynamic duo of Brown and Smith, along with the possibility of a standout performance from Saquon Barkley, bode well for the Eagles against the Packers’ defense.
